Liv Hospital today announced the expansion of its nephrology department, offering enhanced diagnostic, therapeutic, and multidisciplinary services for patients with kidney-related conditions. The initiative aims to address the growing global burden of kidney disease by providing comprehensive, evidence-based care supported by advanced medical technologies.
Nephrology is a subspecialty dedicated to the study and treatment of kidney diseases, including disorders affecting kidney function, blood pressure regulation, electrolyte balance, and hormonal processes. Liv Hospital’s expanded program provides structured care for patients with both acute and chronic renal conditions, integrating internal medicine, nephrology, nutrition, and transplant expertise.
Kidney Health as a Global Priority
Kidneys play a central role in maintaining the body’s internal balance by:
- Filtering waste and excess fluid from the bloodstream
- Regulating blood pressure through hormonal and fluid mechanisms
- Balancing electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and calcium
- Supporting red blood cell production and bone metabolism
With kidney disease affecting millions of individuals worldwide, early detection and coordinated medical management remain critical to improving patient outcomes.
Conditions Treated Within Liv Hospital’s Nephrology Program
Liv Hospital’s nephrologists diagnose and manage a broad range of renal disorders, including:
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) resulting from long-term conditions such as diabetes and hypertension
- Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) caused by infections, dehydration, medications, or trauma
- Glomerulonephritis and other inflammatory disorders of the kidney’s filtering system
- Nephrotic Syndrome is associated with significant protein loss in urine
- Kidney Stones and other structural or metabolic abnormalities
- Hypertensive Kidney Disease resulting from prolonged uncontrolled blood pressure
- Electrolyte and metabolic imbalances require expert regulation
The hospital emphasizes early intervention to slow disease progression and minimize systemic complications.
