The Nephrology department established in the year 1996, the department of Nephrology at Mediciti is headed by one of the senior most Nephrologists in the state , with the best of the facilities available round the clock .
The unit is well equipped to handle complications in intensive care in both medical and surgical areas. Consistent performance and a successful track record in conducting Kidney Transplants encouraged us to step up to Cadaver Kidney Transplants, which requires precision and expertise .
The Nephrology Services for management of AKD (Acute Kidney Disease) and CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) is available round the clock, monitored by senior consultant staff, senior residents and registrars.
The unit is well equipped to handle complications in intensive care in both medical and surgical areas . Consistent performance and a successful track record in conducting Kidney Transplants which requires precision and expertise .
Training Programmes for Patients :
We also have regular training programmes for training patients requiring CAPD and CCPD.
Clinical Milestones
We have more than 50 live related kidney transplants done with gratifying results, and also recently, stepping up to cadaver kidney transplant programme.
Academics
We have an Ongoing DNB Nephrology Programme ( for Post Training in DNB Nephrology )

CRRT (Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy)
The new dialysis machine DIPACT CRRT at the dialysis unit has special features to meet today’s and tomorrow’s demands
This machine is designed to perform a large number of different therapy forms. The operator can select continuous or intermittent dialysistherapies or plasmapherisis.
It also features a double pump single needle mode that is unique to haemofiltration systems. By controlling the flow and pressure conditionsinside the haemofilter, premature clogging of the filter is prevented effectively. The single needle haemofiltration mode can be especially useful intreating patients with recurring fluid overloads
(as seen in cardiomyopathy).
In contrast to so-called “on-line” haemodiafiltration systems it uses only sterile solutions.
Alarms are indicated acoustically and optically with a clear description of the alarm cause on the screen to help locate the problem quickly.
An optional internal battery pack allows treatment to be performed even when the main electrical supplyfails.
