Kidney and Urinary Care

Laparoscopic Procedures

Certain kidney, ureter, or urinary tract conditions may require laparoscopic surgery. These procedures use small incisions and specialised instruments.

The appropriate treatment depends on stone size, location, anatomy, kidney function, previous procedures, and overall health.

Kidney Failure and Dialysis

When kidney function becomes severely reduced, the kidneys may no longer be able to adequately remove waste and excess fluid from the body.

Advanced kidney failure may require renal replacement therapy. Depending on the patient's condition, this can include:

• Haemodialysis
• Peritoneal dialysis
• Kidney transplantation

Dialysis planning should be individualised and may involve nephrologists, vascular access specialists, surgeons, nurses, dietitians, and other healthcare professionals.

Kidney care centres in Bangalore offer services ranging from management of chronic kidney disease to dialysis and kidney transplantation.
