Nephrology

Nephrology is the branch of internal medicine concerned with kidney health and disease, including blood pressure, fluid and electrolyte balance, and the effects of other illnesses and medicines on the kidneys. At our partner hospital, nephrologists provide outpatient, inpatient and intensive care services, all forms of dialysis and assessment for kidney transplantation with lifelong follow-up. MedLuxLife coordinates your appointments and treatment schedule and organises the practical details of your stay.
