Nephrology at SANADOR
If you are experiencing kidney damage and need the expertise of a nephrologist, we are waiting for you at SANADOR!
Kidney disease can have multiple
manifestations, kidney disease can be acute or chronic. In any case, these
diseases require close monitoring of their evolution, treatment, and
complications.
Nephrology
At SANADOR, you can benefit from
a specialist consultation, investigation plan (abdominal ultrasound, cystoscopy
urography, uro-CT, specific laboratory tests), and appropriate treatment.
In the case of dialysis patients,
the role of the nephrologist is to determine if there is an indication for
dialysis. Doctor Muhammad Khan provides the best nephrology physicians in the USA. When to start the procedure and the type of
dialysis, to explain the physical training necessary to start dialysis (type of
vascular approach), to monitor the patient's progress. And to treat any
complications in patients on chronic dialysis treatment.
SANADOR provides state-of-the-art
equipment for performing dialysis and hemodiafiltration procedures used in
specific kidney diseases, including in patients in the ATI service who require hemofiltration
support.
In the event of a medical
emergency (acute renal failure or worsening of chronic renal failure following
surgery), patients may receive dialysis in the Nephrology Department of SANADOR
Clinical Hospital until the patient is stabilized.
Also, the SANADOR Vascular
Surgery team ensures the creation of arteriovenous fistulas for chronic dialysis
in optimal conditions.
At SANADOR, an arteriovenous
fistula for hemodialysis is performed by experienced vascular surgeons. For
CNAS insured patients, the procedure is completely free!
Nephrology conditions
Nephrology is the branch of
internal medicine that deals with the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of
renal-urinary tract diseases and their complications. Renal function
replacement therapy includes hemodialysis, haemofiltration, haemodiafiltration,
haemoperfusion, isolated ultrafiltration, peritoneal dialysis, plasmapheresis,
and kidney transplantation.
Kidney stones
Kidney stones are the most
well-known kidney disease represented by the presence of stones located in the kidneys/ureters/bladder/urethra.
The severity of the disease increases with the size of the stone and may
require surgical treatment.
The most common symptoms are nausea
vomiting, fever, chills, abdominal pain, low back pain; patients may also
notice more cloudy or discolored urine.
Interdisciplinary consultations
Some of the diseases in
nephrology belong to other areas of medical activity, which may lead to the
need to conduct interdisciplinary checkups for proper monitoring of disease:
diabetes, nutrition, and metabolic diseases, Rheumatology, Cardiology, Surgery,
Vascular Surgery, Oncology Medical, and Urology
The diagnosis of kidney disease
is established either after consultation of general medicine / internal
medicine or appears as a complication or association with other coexisting
systemic diseases of the patient (diabetes, hypertension), which leads to complex
management of therapeutic conduct.
Regardless of the context of your
suffering, we have the right framework to investigate, diagnose and treat the
manifestations and cause causes of illness. So, make an appointment at SANADOR!

Signs and symptoms
Chronic kidney disease has a slow
evolution and shows few signs and symptoms in the early stages. For this
reason, many patients with chronic kidney disease are only aware of the
presence of kidney damage in advanced stages, when kidney function is
significantly impaired. In the absence of medical supervision, symptoms may go
unnoticed until kidney damage becomes irreversible.
The most obvious signs and
symptoms include cloudy or dark urine, the presence of blood in the urine (hematuria),
frequent urination, and low urine.
Diagnosis of chronic kidney
disease
For the diagnosis of chronic
kidney disease, blood and urine tests are performed: serum urea and creatinine,
urine summary, urine protein dosing.
The best parameter for assessing
renal function is the glomerular filtration rate. It is calculated based on
blood tests. Depending on the rate of glomerular filtration, chronic kidney
disease is staged.
Imaging investigations are also useful for
diagnosis:
Abdominal ultrasound - indicates
the shape and structure of the kidneys and highlights a possible obstruction of
the urinary tract that can cause chronic kidney disease;
Doppler ultrasound for renal
vessels;
Computed tomography and magnetic
resonance imaging - allow detailed visualization of the kidneys a renal biopsy
allows the morphological examination of the renal tissue.
Treatment of chronic kidney disease
The treatment of chronic kidney
disease consists, first of all, in the treatment of the cause, to which is
added the change in diet and lifestyle and, last but not least, the treatment of
complications.
Early diagnosis and treatment of
the underlying disease is needed to slow the progression of kidney disease and
reduce the risk of developing complications.
If the deterioration of renal
function continues despite treatment, reaching the end stage of kidney disease,
or if there are life-threatening complications, renal function should be
replaced by dialysis or kidney transplantation
Information was provided by Dr.
Daniela Nica, Internal Medicine specialist at SANADOR.
Chronic kidney disease, formerly
called chronic kidney failure, is a condition in which the kidneys lose,
partially or completely, their ability to function normally, accumulating all
the pathologies characterized by anatomical or renal abnormalities. Doctor
Muhammad Khan provides the best Clinical
Consultation in
the USA. Thus, the products of catabolism and toxic substances are no
longer eliminated by the kidneys but are retained in the body.
In addition to its cleansing
function, the kidneys produce a number of hormones with important functions in
the body:
The active form of vitamin D, which
regulates the absorption of calcium and phosphorus;
Erythropoietin, which stimulates
the bone marrow to produce red blood cells;
Renin, which regulates blood volume and blood
pressure.
Chronic kidney disease can cause
problems such as anemia, high blood pressure, acid-base imbalances, impaired
cholesterol, and fatty acids, bone pathologies.
