The department of Nephrology has state of art Advanced Kidney Dialysis (AKD) unit which has been established at Primus Super Speciality Hospital. One of the world famous Nephrologist has taken the challenge of providing Nephrologcal Services. He has been appointed as Director Nephrology & Kidney Transplant. The department is always focused to provide high quality medical care with a human touch. The department is one of the first few centres in India to provide state of Art Renal Replacement Therapy. Under the guidance of Dr. Q. Hasnain, we are running the program. Dr. Hasnain is Australian Trained and qualified Nephrologist with long experience in Nephrology and Kidney Transplant. He is the Fellow of Australian College of Physician (FRACP) and has done PH.D. in Nephrology from UNSW, Australia. He worked as Consultant Nephrologist at different teaching hospital in Australia, before coming to India. Before joining Primus Hospital he was in St. Stephen's Hospital, where he established Nephrology and Transplant Program. Dr. Sanjiv Kumar Behura has joined as Consultant in this dept.
We have following facilities under one roof.
Clinical Nephrology:
A leading centre for the management of all renal problems. State-of-the-art facilities for renal pathology, with complete biochemical, immunological, microbiological and histological (including immunoflorescence and Dimmuno-histo-chemistry) - back up available under one roof. Angiographic, genetic and HLA studies are available in-house for organ transplantation & diagnosis of other diseases.Dialysis Unit:
Latest generation, state of art fifteen bicarbonate haemodialysis machines with volumetric ultrafiltration and adjustable sodium facility, provide better patient safety profile.Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy:
One of the few centres in India to provide highly sophisticated dialysis for critically ill patients in ICU/ICCU with multi-organ failure, where peritoneal or routine haemodialysis are not possible for various reasons Various procedures done with this technique are:-Plasmapheresis & Plasma Exchange:
These facilities of Plasmapheresis & Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) are available for renal and non-renal patients such as LGB syndrome and myasthenia gravis. Chronic Peritoneal Dialysis/AutomatedPeritoneal Dialysis:
One of the leading centres to provide continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for patients of CRF, who are otherwise not suitable for kidney transplant or maintenance haemodialysis. CAPD is also suitable for patients who are living in far flung areas where facility of haemodialysis is not available.Kidney Transplantation:
Kidney failure describes a medical condition in which the kidneys fail to adequately filter toxins and waste products from the blood. The two forms are acute also called AKI (Acute Kidney Injury) and chronic referred to as CKD (Chronic kidney disease) a number of diseases or health problems may cause either form of renal failure to occur CKD patients are started on renal replacement therapy (RRT) once they reach a state of end stage renal disease (ESRD). Common disease leading to ESRD include diabetes mellitus, hypertension, chronic interstitial nephritis, polycystic kidney disease, and autoimmune conditions such as Lupus nephritis Diabetes is the most common cause of kidney transplantation accounting for approximately 25% of those in the developed and developing world.
Renal replacement therapy (RRT) can be divided into dialysis (Hemodialysis and Peritoneal dialysis) and renal transplant. ( The major developments over the past four decades in hemodialysis relate to improvements in membrane biocompatibility and dialyzer design, volumentric control, sophisticated monitoring systems that provide online clearance, isothermal dialysis, high flux membrances and convective modalities such as hemofiltration and hemodiafiltration). Although hemodialysis has improved the quality of life of ESRD patients it is not without its own problems. Kidney transplant is a much better option for patients. A successful kidney transplant frees patients from the need for dialysis and is a more effective treatment for kidney failure. Transplant patients have less restrictions and a better quality of life than do dialysis patients. It ha become the most successful and widespread organ transplantation performed today.
We at Primus Super Speciality Hospital are starting renal transplant program. Under the guidance of one of the senior most transplant surgeon and urologist of Delhi Dr. H.S. Bhatyal (MS,MCh) and his team of doctors including Dr. Kochar (MS, MCh) and Dr. S.K. Pal (MS. MCh) renal transplant has been planned. The team has been strengthened by addition of senior nephrologists Dr. Q. Hasnain (MD. FRACP) and Dr. Sanjeev Behura (MD. DM Nephrology) The knowledge and experience of such eminent doctors would help in giving quality care in the pre and post transplant period.
The team comprise of senior Nephrologists Dr. Q. Hasnain (Director Nephrology), Dr. G.S. Kochar (NCH), Dr. S.K. Pal (NCH), Dr. Sanjeev Behura (MD, DM)
Dr. H.S. Bhatyal has experience of performing more then 1000 kidney transplants including complicated cases. He is first to perform orthotopic transplant and blood less transplant in this continent.
The knowledge and experience such eminent Dr. would guarantee quality care for renal transplant patients.
Casualty Services:
24 hours casualty services are available. All patients are seen by a senior resident on duty and admitted if needed. A consultant supervises all these services round the clock.Academic Programme:
Patients and doctors interactive programmes are held at regular intervals to educate about prevention and retardation of progression of renal failure in patients of pre dialysis and rehabilitation and counseling for patients on renal replacement therapy.
