Nephrology is the department responsible for diagnosing and treating problems related to kidneys and their functions. We are all born with two kidneys, which are located below the ribcage, towards the back of the body. Their main function is to purify blood and eliminate waste from the body.
Sometimes kidneys tend to malfunction due to certain kidney diseases, trauma, or other underlying conditions. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects millions of people around the world and is one of the leading causes of death worldwide.
Our top nephrologists at Shree Veda Hospital can diagnose and treat acute and chronic kidney diseases. They are highly qualified and trained with hands-on experience, even performing complex kidney transplantations.
