You should see a nephrologist if you experience symptoms such as swelling of legs or face, reduced urine output, persistent fatigue, uncontrolled blood pressure, protein in urine, or if you have diabetes or hypertension for many years. Early consultation helps prevent kidney damage.
He treats conditions like acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetic kidney disease, kidney infections,
kidney stones, hypertension, electrolyte imbalance, and prepares/monitors patients before and after kidney transplant.
TMSH offers 24/7 dialysis with advanced machines, separate units for sero-positive patients, and specialized nursing care.
Both haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis (CAPD & automated) are available based on patient needs.
Some kidney problems—like dehydration-related AKI or early-stage kidney disease—can improve with timely treatment. However, chronic kidney disease (CKD) cannot be fully reversed but can be slowed down, controlled, and managed effectively with proper medical guidance.
Maintaining good hydration, controlling blood pressure and blood sugar, avoiding unnecessary painkillers, reducing salt intake,
eating balanced meals, and regular health checkups are vital. Dr. Vijay Thanaraj provides personalised guidance based on each
patient’s medical condition.
