Protecting kidney health for a healthier future
Nephrology focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the kidneys. At Preetham Hospitals, our nephrology team provides comprehensive care for patients with kidney disorders, hypertension, electrolyte abnormalities and other conditions that can affect kidney function.
Early identification of kidney problems can help slow disease progression and protect remaining kidney function. Our specialists evaluate each patient carefully and develop a treatment plan based on kidney function, medical history, underlying conditions and individual healthcare needs.

What does a nephrologist treat?
Nephrologists diagnose and manage a wide range of kidney-related conditions, including chronic kidney disease, acute kidney problems, hypertension associated with kidney disease, electrolyte disorders and other renal conditions.
What are the common signs of kidney problems?
Kidney problems may sometimes develop without obvious symptoms. Swelling, changes in urination, persistent fatigue, blood in the urine, high blood pressure or unexplained changes in health may require medical evaluation.
Can kidney disease be prevented?
Not every kidney condition can be prevented, but controlling blood pressure, managing diabetes, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding unnecessary medicines that may affect the kidneys and having appropriate medical check-ups can help protect kidney health.
When should I see a nephrologist?
A nephrology consultation may be recommended when there are persistent abnormalities in kidney function, significant protein or blood in the urine, uncontrolled blood pressure, recurrent kidney-related problems or other concerns identified by your doctor.
