Specialized Dialysis Care

Comprehensive Support for Your Kidney Health

Patients undergoing dialysis need regular medical monitoring and appropriate treatment planning. Our nephrology consultation focuses on understanding your kidney condition, reviewing your medical reports and providing guidance throughout your treatment journey.

Dr. K.G. Sivakumar, MD, DM (Nephrology), provides specialized nephrology consultation for patients with advanced kidney disease and dialysis-related needs.

When Is Dialysis Considered?

Dialysis may be considered when the kidneys are no longer able to perform their functions adequately.

Your nephrologist may evaluate factors such as:

• Kidney function
• Creatinine and other blood test results
• Fluid retention
• Urine output
• Electrolyte abnormalities
• Symptoms related to advanced kidney disease
• Overall medical condition

Dialysis should always be started based on a nephrologist’s medical assessment.
