At the Metropolitan Hospital Nephrology Department, we provide comprehensive diagnostic, monitoring, and treatment services for all kidney-related conditions, with a strong focus on patient safety and quality of life.
Our experienced team of nephrologists manages a wide range of conditions, including:
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
- Diabetic Nephropathy
- Glomerulonephritis
- Hereditary kidney disorders (e.g., Polycystic Kidney Disease))
- Acute Kidney Injury
- Hypertension with renal involvement
- Systemic diseases affecting the kidneys
Advanced Diagnostic Methods
Diagnosis and evaluation are carried out using full laboratory testing (hematology, biochemistry, immunology), imaging (ultrasound, CT, MRI, angiography), nuclear medicine scans (renography) and kidney biopsy – a specialized, safe, minimally invasive procedure using a fine needle under real-time ultrasound guidance. It is essential for the definitive diagnosis of many kidney diseases and is performed under local anesthesia, with mild systemic sedation when appropriate.
Specialized Therapies
Our department applies the most advanced therapeutic approaches, including:
- Hemodialysis with latest-generation equipment
- Hemodiafiltration using specialized filters for patients with hemodynamic instability
- Creation and management of vascular access
For patients requiring dialysis, in collaboration with interventional radiologists and vascular surgeons, we also provide placement of central venous catheters or vascular access. Moreover, management of complications such as stenosis or thrombosis with angioplasty or surgical intervention can be performed when appropriate.
Multidisciplinary Collaboration
Nephrology at Metropolitan Hospital is based on a holistic approach. We work closely with cardiologists, urologists, vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, endocrinologists, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and dietitians to ensure personalized, targeted, and integrated care.
