Overview - Urology and Nephrology
Urology and nephrology are two important medical specialties that focus on the health of the urinary system and kidneys. Urologists treat problems related to the urinary tract, including the bladder, urethra, and prostate. Nephrologists, on the other hand, specialise in kidney health, treating conditions like kidney stones, chronic kidney disease, and high blood pressure that affects the kidneys.
One of the most crucial treatments in nephrology is a kidney transplant. This life-saving procedure involves replacing a diseased kidney with a healthy one from a donor. It’s often recommended for patients with severe kidney failure, where other treatments like dialysis are no longer effective.
If you’re looking for the best kidney transplant hospital in Bangalore, SPARSH Hospital is a top choice. Known for its state-of-the-art facilities and expert medical team, the hospital provides comprehensive care before, during, and after the transplant. With advanced technology and a high success rate, Sparsh Hospital ensures that patients receive the best possible treatment for kidney and urinary issues.
