Dedicated care at SN KrishnaNephrology
Nephrology at SN Krishna Hospital, Ujjain, provides specialist medical care for patients with chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, and complex fluid and electrolyte disorders. Our team manages the medical side of kidney failure while coordinating with the Dialysis and Urology departments for patients who need renal replacement therapy or urological correction of obstruction.
Early detection of CKD in diabetic and hypertensive patients is a priority, with structured monitoring programmes to slow disease progression and delay the need for dialysis.
Conditions we treat
Acute Kidney Injury
Sudden decline in renal function due to sepsis, dehydration, medications, or obstruction.
Nephrotic Syndrome
Heavy protein loss in urine causing swelling, low albumin, and increased clotting risk.
Diabetic Nephropathy
Kidney damage caused by long-standing diabetes requiring tight glucose and blood pressure control.
Glomerulonephritis
Immune-mediated inflammation of the kidney filters causing proteinuria, haematuria, and impaired function.
Treatments & procedures
Kidney Biopsy
Ultrasound-guided needle biopsy of the kidney to diagnose glomerular and interstitial disease.
Haemodialysis Access Planning
Evaluation and planning of arteriovenous fistula creation or tunnelled catheter for dialysis.
Peritoneal Dialysis Training
Initiation and patient training for home-based peritoneal dialysis as an alternative to haemodialysis.
How we treat our patients
Patients with CKD receive a baseline assessment of kidney function, blood pressure, proteinuria, and metabolic parameters. Management plans address the underlying cause as well as complications including anaemia, bone disease, and cardiovascular risk. Dialysis initiation is planned electively where possible, and patients are counselled about all renal replacement options including peritoneal dialysis and transplant referral.
