Nephrology and Urology

Specialised Care for Kidney and Urinary Health

The Nephrology and Urology Department at Cardea Superspeciality Hospital is dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the kidneys, urinary tract, bladder, and male reproductive system. Kidney health is closely tied to heart health, and conditions like diabetes and hypertension often damage both organs at the same time. That is why our department works hand in hand with our Cardiology Department to provide holistic and preventive care.

Scope of Nephrology and Urology

We provide medical and surgical care for conditions such as:

• Chronic kidney disease (CKD)

• Acute kidney injury

• Kidney stones and urinary tract infections (UTIs)

• Diabetic kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy)

• Hypertensive kidney damage

• Prostate enlargement and urinary obstruction

• Male infertility and reproductive health concerns

• Bladder and urinary incontinence issues

Kidneys, Heart, and the Critical Link

The kidneys and heart are deeply connected. When one organ is affected, the other is often impacted as well. For example:

• High blood pressure damages kidney filters, while kidney disease raises blood pressure further, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

• Diabetes, if uncontrolled, harms both the kidneys and the heart simultaneously.

• Patients with chronic kidney disease are far more likely to die of cardiovascular events than kidney failure alone.

This makes integrated cardiology support essential for every kidney patient. At Cardea, nephrology and urology care is never isolated—it always includes cardiac risk evaluation and prevention.

Diagnostic and Treatment Services

Our department offers:

• Kidney function tests, urine analysis, and electrolyte monitoring

• Ultrasound and imaging for stones, blockages, and tumours

• Dialysis facilities for patients with advanced kidney disease

• Medical management of infections, swelling, and urinary disorders

• Endoscopic and minimally invasive urological procedures

• Preventive screening for diabetic and hypertensive patients

For patients at risk, cardiology evaluations such as ECG, echocardiography, and lipid profile checks are included in the care pathway.

When Should You Consult Nephrology and Urology?

You should seek medical attention if you experience:

• Swelling in the feet, ankles, or face

• Persistent urinary problems such as burning or frequent urination

• Blood in urine or cloudy urine

• Severe back or side pain (possible kidney stone)

• High blood pressure that is difficult to control

• Diabetes with signs of kidney involvement (protein in urine, declining function)

• Decreased urine output or unexplained fatigue

Preventive Kidney Care

Many kidney diseases can be slowed or prevented with early detection and lifestyle measures. At Cardea, we emphasise:

• Regular screening for diabetics and hypertensive patients

• Blood pressure and sugar control to protect kidney and heart function

• Adequate hydration and healthy diet to prevent stones and infections

• Avoiding overuse of painkillers and unregulated medications

• Lifestyle counselling for long-term health protection

Integration with Cardiology

Every patient with kidney disease is carefully assessed for cardiac health. For example:

• A diabetic patient with declining kidney function will undergo preventive cardiology evaluation.

• Patients on dialysis are monitored closely for heart rhythm problems and heart failure.

• Individuals with long-standing hypertension are referred for cardiology tests even before symptoms develop.

This ensures that our patients are protected from silent but life-threatening cardiac complications.

A Patient’s Journey – Protecting Both Kidneys and Heart

A patient with uncontrolled diabetes may visit our Urology Department for frequent urinary infections. Initial tests may reveal early kidney disease. At this point, our nephrologists coordinate with our Cardiology team to evaluate for silent coronary artery disease. With a combination of diabetic management, kidney treatment, and preventive cardiac care, the patient is protected from major complications across three systems.

This model of integrated superspeciality care is what makes Cardea unique.
