Nephrology
The Department of Nephrology & Dialysis at Nagarjuna Hospital, Vijayawada, is dedicated to providing exceptional treatment and care for kidney-related disorders. Equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, a team of highly skilled nephrologists, and world-class facilities, Nagarjuna Hospital stands as one of the premier nephrology centers in Vijayawada.
The kidneys are vital, bean-shaped organs about four and a half inches long, located near the spinal column. Their primary function is to filter waste products from the blood and excrete them as urine. Composed of millions of nephrons, the kidneys collect and discharge urine into the renal pelvis, which is then expelled through the urinary bladder. Beyond waste elimination, kidneys maintain fluid and mineral balance, regulate blood pressure via hormone release, stimulate red blood cell production, activate Vitamin D to strengthen bones, and help remove drugs and toxins from the body.
Nagarjuna Hospital prides itself on superior patient care and outstanding treatment outcomes for kidney disorders, making it a trusted choice for nephrology services in Vijayawada. Our team emphasizes preventive care and personalized treatment plans, especially for children, to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Our department features a dedicated nephrology ward, a 30-bed dialysis unit, and a specialized kidney transplant ICU. We offer a comprehensive range of services, including hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, plasmapheresis, kidney biopsy, HD catheter insertion, tunneled dialysis catheter placement, and renal transplantation.
