Nephrology
Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney (MCDK) is a developmental kidney disorder where non-functioning cysts replace normal kidney tissue. -br It usually affects one kidney and is detected through prenatal or neonatal ultrasound. -br Most cases are harmless and require monitoring, as the healthy kidney compensates for the affected one.
Nephrology
Nephrectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one or both kidneys. -br It’s performed for various reasons including kidney cancer, chronic infection, trauma, or organ donation. -br Modern approaches like laparoscopic or robotic nephrectomy minimize recovery time and surgical risks.
Nephrology
A Renal Angiogram is an imaging procedure that uses contrast dye to examine the arteries supplying the kidneys. -br It helps identify blockages, narrowing, aneurysms, or abnormal blood flow patterns. -br The test is crucial for diagnosing renovascular hypertension and planning surgical or interventional procedures.
Nephrology
Nephropathy is a progressive kidney disorder that impairs the organs’ ability to filter blood effectively. -br It’s often a complication of long-standing diabetes or hypertension, resulting in protein leakage, fluid imbalance, and toxin buildup. -br Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent progression to end-stage kidney disease.
Nephrology
Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) is a manual, home-based dialysis procedure that filters waste and excess fluid from the blood using the lining of the abdomen as a natural filter. -br Patients perform fluid exchanges multiple times a day, offering flexibility and independence compared to hospital-based dialysis. -br CAPD provides steady toxin removal, maintaining a more stable fluid balance and lifestyle freedom.
Nephrology
A Solitary Kidney refers to having only one functional kidney due to birth defect, injury, or surgical removal. -br Most people with one kidney live normal, healthy lives, but need periodic monitoring for function, blood pressure, and urine protein. -br Good hydration and avoiding kidney-toxic drugs are essential for long-term health.
