Acute Kidney Injury is a sudden decline in kidney function that may develop because of severe infection, dehydration, medication effects or critical illness. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to reduce complications and support kidney recovery.
Hemodialysis removes waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are unable to perform these functions adequately. Dr. Kishan Aralapuram manages dialysis planning, monitoring and related complications.
Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of the abdomen to remove waste and excess fluid from the body. Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis may be suitable for selected patients who require long-term dialysis treatment.
Kidney transplantation replaces a failing kidney with a healthy donor kidney. Dr. Kishan Aralapuram is experienced in renal transplantation and provides evaluation, transplant-related care and long-term follow-up for suitable patients.
Glomerulonephritis refers to inflammation of the kidney's filtering units. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include medications, blood pressure management and close monitoring of kidney function.
Nephrotic syndrome causes excessive protein loss in the urine and may lead to swelling and other complications. Management focuses on identifying the cause, reducing protein loss and preserving kidney function.
Critical care nephrology involves managing kidney complications in seriously ill patients. Treatment may include fluid management, correction of electrolyte abnormalities and dialysis when required.
Some infections can directly or indirectly affect kidney function. Dr. Kishan Aralapuram evaluates the underlying infection and kidney involvement to provide appropriate nephrology management.
Kidney disorders can cause abnormal levels of sodium, potassium and other electrolytes. Correct diagnosis and management are important because severe electrolyte disturbances can affect the heart, muscles and nervous system.
