Stone Management

Facilities Available : -

Department Of Nephrology



We specialize in all aspects of nephrology, critical care and transplant nephrology. We provide personalized health care services in all aspects of nephrology including: hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, Critical Care and kidney transplant. Wockhardt performs the maximum number of dialysis in Kolkata.



Facilities Available : -




• Dialysis Center : - There are two types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, both of which are available at the Wockhardt Hospital and Kidney Institute.


• Hemodialysis : - In this type of dialysis, an artificial unit called a dialyzer mimics the action of the nephron. To undergo hemodialysis, a person must first have a minor surgical procedure to create an access for the needles and tubing needed to connect the blood circulation to the dialysis machine. This minor surgery forms what is called an AV (arterio-venous) fistula, or a shunt, or simply a fistula. Once this is done, a person does not have to worry about difficulties being "stuck" with needles for each session of dialysis.


Most people undergo three dialysis sessions each week, for about four hours each time. A person is connected to the dialysis machine via the shunt. The dialysis machine pumps the blood through the dialyzer, which filters off the waste products, excess fluid, and excess body chemicals. The newly cleaned blood flows out of the dialyzer and is returned via a different set of tubes. During dialysis, a person also receives the hormones the kidneys are unable to produce.


• Peritoneal Dialysis(CAPD) : - This is an entirely different way of filtering wastes from the body. Peritoneal dialysis utilizes the peritoneal membrane, which is the lining of the abdominal cavity. The peritoneal membrane is very large, and has a rich blood supply. In people with kidney failure, the peritoneal blood supply, like all the other blood in the body, contains excessive waste products and fluid, When clean fluid comes into contact with that blood supply, the wastes travel into the cleaner fluid.


• Kidney Transplant : - Kidney transplantation is the best way to treat kidney failure or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The Kidney Transplant Program at Wockhardt Hospital and Kidney Institute is dedicated to providing comprehensive care to patients with chronic renal disease.


• Renal Medicine : - Wockhardt Hospital and Kidney Institute Provides treatment for all types of renal diseases.


• Clinical Expertise : - A team of experts provides compassionate and the best possible care for each of our patients.We utilize the most sophisticated diagnostic procedures and the latest surgical techniques to treat all nephrological disorders.
