We at Dr L H Hiranandani Hospital are committed to offering patients with kidney diseases and disorders individualized treatment and support. We have a devoted team of renowned nephrologists and state-of-the-art facilities.
When it comes to managing kidney health, our nephrology doctors in Mumbai recognize the significance of compassionate and all-encompassing care. This is what makes us unique.
Our team is made up of renal experts in Mumbai with years of experience and leadership qualities. To provide our patients with the finest care possible, they are committed to keeping up with the most recent developments in nephrology.
A physician with expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney disorders is known as a nephrologist. If you have any indications of kidney disease or other conditions that could harm your kidneys, you should consult an experienced nephrology doctor in Mumbai. Our expert nephrologists in Mumbai will treat your condition, order tests, and review your medical history during your visits.
Nephrologists diagnose and treat disorders of the kidneys, including renal failure. Furthermore, they understand the impact kidney diseases have on various other parts of the body, such as:
Some of the most common conditions that a nephrologist may treat include:
• Diabetic and other kidney diseases
• High blood pressure
• Kidney failure
• Cystic kidney disease
• Kidney stones
• Nephrotic syndrome
• End-stage renal (kidney) disease
• Hemolytic uremic syndrome
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Kidney infections
• Hyponatremia and other electrolyte disorders
• Toxic overdoses that require dialysis
• Glomerulonephritis (GN)
Patients are referred to nephrology specialists in Mumbai for specific disorders like:
Hemodialysis (HD) is a treatment for kidney failure that uses a dialysis machine to clean the blood. The patient’s blood flows from his or her vascular access through a dialysis machine, is cleansed of extra waste and fluids, and is sent back into the body.
The department at our nephrology hospital in Mumbai has fully automated and motorized beds/chairs with remote control functions to ensure patient comfort. Each bed is provided with an individual LCD TV with headphones for entertainment.
This facility turns nonproductive sleep time into hemodialysis treatment time. Patients receive hemodialysis in the dialysis centre overnight for 6 to 8 hours while they sleep. This increases their productivity and prevents loss of vital daytime for treatment.
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a type of dialysis that can be done at the patient’s home, using the thin membrane called the peritoneum, which lines the abdomen, to perform dialysis treatments. A cleansing fluid is put into the patient’s abdomen through a small, flexible tube called a PD catheter.
The department provides home hemodialysis treatment with the Fresenius 4008 model and a portable RO water treatment plant. Hemodialysis is done by a qualified technician in consultation with the nephrologist. This can be done either on an outright basis or on monthly rental schemes.
The patient can take this treatment at home. It is supervised by a PD nurse and a team of expert nephrologists in Mumbai. Round-the-clock telephonic assistance is provided to patients in need. We also have home visit facilities undertaken by dialysis nurses for all services, including performing exchanges, in-centre PD training, cycler-assisted IPD (CCPD – Continuous Cycler Peritoneal Dialysis), catheter insertions, and transfer set changes.
The department provides dialysis services on wheels for immobile patients and patients hospitalized in nursing homes.
To perform dialysis (whether hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis), access to the bloodstream is essential. This can be achieved through certain surgical procedures such as arteriovenous fistula creation and graft insertions, permanent and temporary hemodialysis catheter insertions, and/or peritoneal dialysis catheter insertions.
Our nephrology surgery team in Mumbai believes that it is a well-accepted and documented fact that kidney transplantation is the best option to replace kidney function rather than dialysis. In India to date, transplantation includes:
The kidney is donated by first-degree relatives like a mother, father, brother, or sister. Spouses can also be considered as donors.
Cadaveric transplantation: Retrieval of kidneys from a brain-dead individual only after the consent of his/her family. You will need to register yourself with the Zonal Transplant Coordination Center (ZTCC) for cadaveric transplantation. Your nephrologists will guide you regarding the same.
Transplantation across two couples (husband and wife / mother and son / father and daughter / and so on) who, due to non-compatibility of blood groups, cannot donate to each other but have a strong wish to donate. Swap transplants are proving to be a boon in increasing the number of transplants in our country, legally.
Our nephrologists will provide you with detailed insight about transplantation and help you make the most suitable decision.
Apex Kidney Care – Dr L H Hiranandani Hospital wants to bring clinical research into India in a big way and will be one of the main centers for quality research in the field of dialysis and transplantation. With excellent lab facilities and an in-house, experienced nephrology surgeon in Mumbai with good experience in clinical research, we feel that we can make a difference by contributing to further developments in the field of nephrology.
Apex Kidney Care also undertakes training courses for dialysis technicians and nursing staff who aspire to work in the field of nephrology.
