Overview Nephrology is a specialized field of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of kidney-related diseases. The Institute of Nephrology and Kidney Transplantation at Jaiprakash Hospital offers comprehensive care for a wide range of kidney conditions, ensuring high-quality treatment and support for patients.

Comprehensive Care Approach

• Prevention: We strive to prevent kidney diseases by managing systemic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension effectively.
• Disease Management: Our team works to slow the progression of kidney disease through a combination of diet, lifestyle modifications, and medications.
• Renal Replacement Therapy: When kidney function declines, we provide advanced renal replacement therapies including dialysis and kidney transplantation.
• Patient-Centric Care: We organize treatment plans to minimize discomfort and disruption to the patient’s daily life and work schedule.
