HEMODIALYSIS

 
 
We have an outpatient hemodialysis unit (Hemodialysis Annex II) with 31 top-of-the-line hemodialysis machines. It is open Mondays to Saturdays from 4 AM to 11 PM offering 4 sessions daily. A fellow-in-training regularly make rounds on the dialysis patients and highly qualified renal nurses carry out the dialysis orders.

A separate hemodialysis unit is available at the Main Building for patients who are admitted in the ward, ICU, or in the Emergency Room. Patients who need immediate dialysis are given priority over the patients who just need regular dialysis during their admission.
 

PERITONEAL DIALYSIS

 
 
The Peritoneal Dialysis ward caters to admitted patients who are started on this mode of renal replacement therapy and patients who are already on PD and are confined for whaever medical problems. The ward is capable of performing manual PD and cycler-assisted PD. Formal training on continuos ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is also offered here.

The Peritoneal Dialysis clinic caters to PD patients who come in for regular follow-up or for their chronic intermittent cycler-assisted peritoneal dialysis
 

KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION

Our program in kidney transplantation is certainly the best and the most established nationwide and it boasts of the widest clinical and research experience. We provide comprehensive and quality care to private and service renal transplant patients during their pre-, intra- and post-operative course.
 

KIDNEY BIOPSY

We perform ultrasound-guided biopsy of native kidneys and renal grafts together with the Department of Radiology and Pathology.
 

OUTPATIENT CLINICS

Aside from the private clinics of our consultant staff, we conduct regular clinics in General Nephrology and Kidney Transplantation for our service patients from Mondays to Fridays, 1 to 5 PM. Nephrology fellows-in-training man these clinics under the supervision of the consultant staff.

In 2006, we established the Chronic Kidney Disease Education and Counselling Program (CKD Clinic). Newly-diagnosed CKD patients, (whether on renal replacement therapy already or not) are referred to this clinic for counselling and education regarding all aspects of their illness (diagnosis, treatment, diet, laboratories, medicines, financial costs, family support, government support, etc.). Specific modules are offered and patients are evaluated objectively to ensure their comprehension. The clinic is located at the 2nd floor, Annex II building and is manned by our trained paramedical staff under the close supervision of our consultant staff. It is open Mondays to Fridays from 10 AM to 6 PM.
