Nephrology

Overview

The Nephrology Department at Holy Spirit Hospital offers advanced, patient-focused care for a wide spectrum of kidney-related conditions. As a trusted tertiary care centre, we provide expert diagnosis, treatment, and management for kidney diseases at all stages, in line with international standards of clinical excellence.

Our team of experienced nephrologists is supported by skilled nursing and paramedical staff, ensuring a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to kidney care. We are equipped to handle both acute and chronic kidney conditions with precision, compassion, and timely medical intervention.

At the heart of our approach is the early detection and prevention of serious kidney diseases such as Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Diabetic Kidney Disease, and Glomerulonephritis.

Daily outpatient consultations and coordinated inpatient care ensure that patients receive consistent and personalized attention. With a strong emphasis on awareness, prevention, and advanced treatment options, the Nephrology Department at Holy Spirit Hospital is committed to safeguarding kidney health and supporting patients at every stage of their journey.
