Nephrology

Kidney disease diagnosis, dialysis, and management of chronic kidney conditions.

Nephrology at Rajah Hospital in Guruvayoor diagnoses and manages the full range of kidney conditions, from early-stage chronic kidney disease to patients requiring ongoing dialysis. Our nephrologists work closely with General Medicine and Diabetology, since kidney disease is often linked to diabetes and high blood pressure — two of the most common chronic conditions we see across Thrissur district. The department’s hemodialysis unit provides regular dialysis sessions for patients with advanced kidney failure, reducing the need for long-distance travel to access this essential, ongoing treatment. For patients with earlier-stage kidney disease, we focus on slowing disease progression through medication management, dietary guidance, and close monitoring of kidney function over time. Renal biopsy and electrolyte disorder treatment are also available for more complex diagnostic and management needs. As a department of a charitable hospital, Nephrology is committed to keeping essential, life-sustaining kidney care within reach for families who might otherwise struggle to access it.
