Nephrology clinic
The nephrology clinic specializes in treating kidney diseases, including:
- Kidney cysts
- Congenital urinary tract issues
- Nephrotic syndrome (damage to blood filters)
- Chronic kidney infections
- Kidney damage from diabetes or immune system diseases
When kidneys fail, treatments like dialysis are used to remove waste from the blood. There are two types:
- Peritoneal dialysis: Fluid in the abdomen absorbs waste, then is drained out.
- Hemodialysis: Blood is filtered through a machine.
Kidney transplantation is the most effective and preferred option for replacing kidney function.
