Renal care, also known as kidney care, refers to medical care and treatment aimed at maintaining the health and function of the kidneys. The kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste products and excess fluids from the blood, regulating electrolyte balance, and producing hormones that regulate blood pressure and red blood cell production. Renal care encompasses various aspects of healthcare focused on preventing, diagnosing, and managing kidney diseases and disorders.
At BR Healthcare, patients can access comprehensive renal care services aimed at maintaining kidney health and managing kidney-related conditions. Services include preventive screenings, management of kidney diseases such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), dialysis treatments for advanced kidney failure, evaluation for kidney transplantation, and post-transplant care. The renal care team, comprising nephrologists, nurses, dietitians, and other specialists, collaborates to provide personalised treatment plans and support to patients. With a focus on earlydetection, advanced treatments, and patient-centred care, BR Healthcare ensures the well-being of individuals affected by kidney diseases.

For individuals diagnosed with CKD, BR Healthcare provides comprehensive management and treatment options. This may include medication management, dietary counselling, blood pressure control, and lifestyle modifications aimed at slowing the progression of kidney disease and managing symptoms effectively.

For patients who have undergone kidney transplantation, BR Healthcare provides comprehensive post-transplant care. This may include monitoring for signs of rejection, managing immunosuppressive medications, monitoring kidney function, and addressing any post-transplant complications that may arise.
CKD is a progressive condition characterized by a gradual loss of kidney function over time. Common causes of CKD include diabetes, hypertension, glomerulonephritis, and polycystic kidney disease. Without proper management, CKD can lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation.
AKI is a sudden and temporary loss of kidney function, often resulting from conditions such as dehydration, severe infection, kidney stones, or medications that impair kidney function. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications and restore kidney function.
Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form in the kidneys and can cause severe pain when they pass through the urinary tract. Risk factors for kidney stones include dehydration, diet high in certain minerals, family history, and certain medical conditions.
Glomerulonephritis is inflammation of the glomeruli, the filtering units of the kidneys. It can be acute or chronic and may result from infections, autoimmune diseases, or other underlying conditions. Glomerulonephritis can lead to proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, and impaired kidney function.
Polycystic Kidney Disease PKD is an inherited disorder characterised by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys, which can enlarge the kidneys and impair their function over time. PKD can lead to hypertension, kidney stones, urinary tract infections, and eventually kidney failure. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and complications, as well as slowing disease progression.
