Advanced Kidney Care & 24/7 Dialysis Services
Kidney diseases require early and precise medical intervention. The Department of Nephrology at Shilmoon Specialized Hospital provides comprehensive care for acute and chronic kidney conditions, diabetic nephropathy, glomerulonephritis, and hypertension-related kidney issues.
Our state-of-the-art Dialysis Center is operational 24/7, providing safe and effective hemodialysis services. Our clinical protocols follow international hygiene standards, utilizing clean water purification systems to minimize patient risk.
Kidney Protection Strategies
- • Control your blood sugar levels and blood pressure, as they are key causes of kidney damage.
- • Stay hydrated, but avoid over-hydration if you have pre-existing kidney issues.
- • Avoid regular use of over-the-counter painkillers (NSAIDs) which can harm kidneys.
- • Limit sodium and processed foods in your diet to reduce stress on your kidneys.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of serum creatinine in evaluating kidney health?
Creatinine is a waste product filtered by the kidneys. Elevated levels in a blood test indicate that the kidneys may not be filtering waste efficiently, warranting further evaluation.
How frequently does a dialysis patient need treatments?
For patients with end-stage renal disease, hemodialysis is typically required 2 to 3 times a week, with each session lasting about 4 hours, depending on the doctor's prescription.
Hemodialysis Technology & Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Care
Our Nephrology Department features a state-of-the-art dialysis center, operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We provide hemodialysis and Slow Continuous Ultrafiltration (SLED) for critically ill patients in our ICU. The dialysis process is powered by a high-grade water treatment plant that meets European renal standards, ensuring the dialysate water is completely sterile and toxin-free.
For patients in early stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD), our nephrologists focus on conservative therapies to delay dialysis. We monitor dietary protein, manage renal hypertension, control mineral bone disorders, and treat anemia associated with kidney failure, helping patients preserve residual kidney function as long as possible.
