Your Health, Our Priority

 Chronic kidney disease, also called chronic kidney failure, describes the gradual loss of kidney function. When chronic kidney disease reaches an advanced stage, dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes and wastes can build up in your body. In the early stages of chronic kidney disease, you may have few signs or symptoms. Treatment for chronic kidney disease focuses on slowing the progression of the kidney damage, usually by controlling the underlying cause. 

 The kidneys help filter wastes and extra fluids from blood, and they use a lot of blood vessels to do so. This is why high blood pressure is the second leading cause of kidney failure. Over time, uncontrolled high blood pressure can cause arteries around the kidneys to narrow, weaken or harden. We will work with you to come up with the best treatment plan to help bring your BP back into a normal range. 

 Diabetes can cause health conditions such as heart disease, blindness, kidney failure, and lower limb amputations. Diabetes, also known as High Blood Sugar, can overwork the kidneys, and ultimately damage them. After years, the kidneys start leaking small amounts of protein (albumin) into the urine, which indicates that the kidneys are damaged. Not everyone with diabetes develops kidney disease. The better a person keeps diabetes under control, the lower the chance of getting kidney disease. 

 Kidney dialysis is the most common treatment for patients with kidney failure. Dialysis is a procedure to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys stop working properly. ... Normally, the kidneys filter the blood, removing harmful waste products and excess fluid and turning these into urine to be passed out of the body. Today, someone can be on dialysis for many years, to lead long, active, and fulfilling lives. 

 Critical Care Management includes correction of fluid and electrolyte levels, avoidance of nephrotoxins, Acute kidney failure, and kidney replacement therapy, when appropriate. Acute kidney failure requires immediate critical care treatment. The good news is that acute kidney failure can often be reversed. The kidneys usually start working again within several weeks to months after the underlying cause has been treated. Dialysis is needed until then. 

 A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure to place a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor into a person whose kidneys no longer function properly. Kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located on each side of the spine just below the rib cage. Each is about the size of a fist. Their main function is to filter and remove waste, minerals and fluid from the blood by producing urine. When your kidneys lose this filtering ability, harmful levels of fluid and waste accumulate in your body.
