    Nephrology Department

    At Bangalore Hospitals, our Nephrology department provides advanced care for patients with kidney-related diseases. Located in Jayanagar and Kengeri, our expert nephrologists deliver personalized, evidence-based care using cutting-edge technology.
    With kidney disease affecting nearly 17% of the Indian population—often due to diabetes and hypertension—we are committed to early diagnosis, effective management, and improving long-term outcomes for every patient.

    Our nephrologists specialize in managing both common and complex kidney conditions, including:

    • Nephrotic and Nephritic Syndromes: Specialized diagnosis and therapy for proteinuria and inflammation-related kidney diseases.

    With a holistic, patient-first approach, we ensure treatment is tailored to your lifestyle, needs, and stage of disease.
