Nephrology

The country's top dialysis facility

Nephrology is a medical and paediatric specialty concerned with the kidneys, the study of normal kidney function and disease, the preservation of kidney health, and the treatment of kidney disease, ranging from diet and medication to renal replacement therapy (dialysis and kidney transplantation). A nephrologist is a specific kind of doctor who specialises in kidney disorders. Not only do nephrologists specialize in disorders that impact the kidney, but they also understand how kidney disease or dysfunction can affect other sections of the body.

Kidney Transplant

It is a surgical procedure to transplant a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor into a patient with failing kidneys. At the Jupiter hospital, we provide an isolated ICU with negative pressure ventilation for transplant patients. At Jupiter hospital, a team of highly skilled surgeons performs organ transplant procedures. With a success rate of over 95%, our center's transplant outcomes are comparable to the global literature. The cost of a kidney transplant is very reasonable. The MSW (Transplant coordinator) team assists patients with legal formalities and government schemes, if applicable.

We also perform transplants with significant risk, which includes

  • Simultaneous Kidney Pancreas transplant
  • ABO Incompatible transplant
  • HLA crossmatch Positive – desensitisation protocol
  • Deceased donor transplant
  • Paediatric transplant

The departments of Intensive care, Radiology, Pathology, Anaesthesia, Infectious Disease, Immunology, and Interventional Radiology all work well together at the centre, which fosters strong interdepartmental cooperation. Jupiter has the best nephrologists in India. We provide both inpatient and outpatient care to adult and child patients. The Centre is backed by a specialised ICU and ultra-modern laboratory coupled with full biochemistry, immune-microbiology for drug level monitoring, and immunohistochemistry.

The most recent diagnostic and therapeutic facilities in Nephrology departments include
