Nephrology

Nephrology Hospital in Malad, Mumbai

When a kidney problem is found, it often matters to the whole family, and to those who share the household's food, medicines, and routines. CritiCare Asia Hospitals is a nephrology hospital in Malad, Mumbai, and offers care for kidney and urinary tract conditions, from infections to long-term decline in function. Kidney disease can be silent, so evaluation starts with blood and urine tests, and scans or a biopsy follow only when needed. Nephrology treatment in Malad, Mumbai looks for the cause, not only the symptom, because look-alike conditions need different management.

Conditions We Treat

  • Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
    gradual, long-term loss of kidney function, often linked to diabetes or high blood pressure
  • Renal failure
    an advanced stage where the kidneys cannot adequately filter waste, needing closer monitoring and sometimes dialysis
  • Glomerulonephritis
    inflammation of the kidney's filtering units, from infection, autoimmune disease or unknown causes
  • Interstitial nephritis
    inflammation of the tissue between the tubes, often after a medicine or infection and usually reversible if caught early
  • Nephrotic syndrome
    heavy protein loss in urine, swelling and low blood protein
  • Polycystic kidney disease (PKD)
    an inherited condition with cysts in the kidneys, so relatives may also need advice
  • Kidney stones
    mineral lumps that cause pain or blockage
  • Renal artery stenosis
    narrowing of the arteries supplying the kidneys
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
    from mild bladder infections to kidney infections

Treatments & Procedures

  • Dialysis
    cleans waste and fluid from the blood when the kidneys cannot, planned or urgent
  • Renal biopsy
    examines kidney tissue to find the cause of unexplained blood or protein in urine
  • Blood and urine tests
    assess filtration, protein levels and signs of infection or inflammation
  • Imaging
    ultrasound or CT for cysts, stones, blockages and blood flow
  • Stone management
    monitoring and medicines, or procedures for larger stones
  • Blood pressure and medicine management
    ongoing support for CKD and renal artery stenosis

Nephrology Care at CritiCare Asia Hospitals, Malad

Kidney conditions are usually lifelong or long-running, so care here is organised around continuity. The same team follows a patient across visits, and family members are included in conversations about diet, medicines and what to expect. This matters most for chronic conditions, where small adjustments over time protect remaining kidney function. Care includes:

  • Diagnosis through blood work, urine analysis and imaging
  • Medicines as the first line of treatment for most conditions
  • Dialysis support when kidney function has declined significantly
  • Joint care with cardiology and endocrinology for blood pressure and diabetes
  • Regular follow-up to track kidney function and adjust treatment
  • Cost estimates and insurance or cashless options explained by the hospital team at the start

Frequently Asked Questions

Anyone with a close relative who has kidney disease, particularly an inherited condition such as polycystic kidney disease, or who has diabetes or high blood pressure, should consider screening.

Yes. Conditions such as nephrotic syndrome and urinary infections can occur in childhood, and swelling around the eyes or foamy urine in a child is worth a check.

Regular, long-term use of painkillers known as NSAIDs can stress the kidneys, and some medicines can trigger interstitial nephritis. Tell the doctor about every medicine you take.

Often, yes. Controlling salt and, in some conditions, protein, potassium and fluid intake can ease the load on the kidneys, and the care team advises on what suits the condition.

There are often none. Possible signs include foamy urine, swelling of the feet or face, tiredness and changes in urination. Blood and urine tests detect it, especially in people with diabetes or high blood pressure.

Regular use of some, particularly NSAIDs, can damage the kidneys, especially with dehydration or existing kidney disease. Ask your doctor before using any painkiller over a long period.

When it keeps returning, reaches the kidneys, or comes with fever and back pain, a nephrology review is advised.
