    Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is nephrology, and why is it important?

    Nephrology is the medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of kidney-related diseases and conditions. It is crucial because the kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste products from the blood, regulating blood pressure, and maintaining overall health.

  • What types of kidney conditions does Gleneagles HealthCity Chennai treat?

    We specialize in treating a wide range of kidney conditions, including but not limited to chronic kidney disease, kidney stones, renal infections, and kidney transplant evaluations.

  • What should I bring to my first nephrology appointment?

    Please bring any relevant medical records, test results, and a list of medications you are currently taking. This information will help our nephrologists assess your condition more effectively.

  • Do I need a referral from another doctor to see a nephrologist at Gleneagles HealthCity Chennai?

    While referrals are encouraged, they are not always necessary. You can schedule an appointment directly with our nephrology department. However, having a referral from your primary care physician can provide valuable medical history and context.

  • What treatment options are available for kidney diseases at your hospital?

    Treatment options vary depending on the specific kidney condition. Our nephrology team will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include medication, dietary changes, dialysis, or kidney transplant evaluation.
