Nephrology consultations include a detailed history, physical examination and clinical assessments to determine the overall health of the kidneys.

Diagnosis of kidney disease involves a series of tests and investigations, including blood and urine tests, kidney ultrasounds and kidney biopsies. These tests are essential to identify and treat kidney diseases such as renal failure, glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis and polycystic kidney disease.

We constantly invest in state-of-the-art technology to provide the most accurate diagnosis and treatment. High-resolution kidney ultrasounds, advanced blood and urine tests and modern biopsy techniques are just some of the tools we use to monitor and treat kidney disease.

Nephrology: FAQs

What are the most common kidney diseases?

The most common kidney diseases include chronic renal failure, glomerulonephritis, kidney infections (pyelonephritis) and polycystic kidney disease. Chronic kidney failure is a progressive condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to function properly. Glomerulonephritis is an inflammation of the filtering units in the kidneys, while pyelonephritis is an infection of the kidneys caused by bacteria. Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic condition that causes multiple cysts to form in the kidneys.

What is dialysis?

Dialysis is a medical treatment used to perform kidney functions when the kidneys can no longer function properly. There are two main types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Hemodialysis involves using a device to filter blood, while peritoneal dialysis uses the peritoneal membrane in the abdomen to remove waste and excess fluid.

How can kidney disease be prevented?

Prevention is essential in maintaining kidney health. At CorePrime, we educate patients on the importance of a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, proper hydration and regular exercise. Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, as well as regular monitoring of blood pressure and blood sugar levels, are essential measures to prevent kidney disease.
