Testimonials
A nephrologist is a kidney specialist. Dr. Sashidhar CH diagnoses and treats chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury and protein in urine, and guides patients through dialysis and transplant care.
When your reports show high creatinine, low eGFR or protein in urine, or if you have diabetes or high blood pressure and haven’t had a kidney check. Don’t wait for symptoms, as early kidney disease is often silent.
Swelling in the feet or face, foamy urine, blood in urine, passing less urine, constant tiredness, loss of appetite or hard-to-control blood pressure. These can have other causes too, so a proper check is the safest step.
Chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, diabetic kidney disease, protein leakage in urine, kidney problems from high blood pressure, electrolyte imbalances, nephrotic syndrome, kidney failure needing dialysis and transplant care.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms, history and medicines, check your blood pressure and review your reports. You’ll leave with a clear explanation and a plan. Bring all old reports and prescriptions. You can book an appointment from 10 AM to 7 PM.
Usually blood tests for creatinine, urea, electrolytes and eGFR, a urine test for protein and a kidney ultrasound. Sometimes a kidney biopsy is needed if the cause isn’t clear.
A nephrologist treats kidney disease mainly with medical care. A urologist is a surgeon who treats the urinary tract, including procedures for stones and blockages. Many patients need both.
They find out why stones form, check kidney function and help prevent new ones. If a stone needs a procedure, a urologist usually does it. See treating kidney stones without surgery.
Yes. High blood pressure harms the kidneys, and kidney disease raises blood pressure. A nephrologist treats both together. Read more on hypertension and kidney disease.
At least once a year, with a blood test for creatinine and eGFR plus a urine protein test. If your kidney function is already reduced, your nephrologist may advise checks every few months. See diabetic kidney disease.
