Expert Kidney Care at
Satyadev Hospital, Patna
Nephrology is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases. Your kidneys filter about 200 litres of blood every day — when they stop working properly, toxins build up and affect every organ in your body.
At Satyadev Multi Super Speciality Hospital, our nephrology department offers the complete spectrum of kidney care — from early-stage chronic kidney disease management to advanced dialysis, kidney failure treatment, and pre-transplant evaluation in Patna, Bihar.
5 Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
CKD progresses through 5 stages based on GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate). Early detection at Stage 1–2 can prevent reaching dialysis. Know your stage — act now.
Mild (GFR ≥90)
Normal or high kidney function. No symptoms. Detected only by urine or blood test. Fully manageable with lifestyle changes.
Mild-Moderate (GFR 60–89)
Slight loss of function. Usually no symptoms. Control blood pressure and blood sugar to slow progression.
Moderate (GFR 30–59)
Noticeable kidney damage. Anaemia, fatigue, swelling may begin. Nephrology consultation essential.
Severe (GFR 15–29)
Severe loss of function. Preparing for dialysis or transplant at this stage is critical.
Kidney Failure (GFR <15)
End-stage renal disease. Dialysis or kidney transplant required to sustain life.

Kidney disease is often called a "silent killer" because symptoms appear late. If you notice any of these signs, see a nephrologist immediately.
Changes in Urine Output
Reduced or increased urination, foamy urine (protein leakage), dark or blood-tinged urine — all are warning signs of kidney problems.
Swelling in Legs & Feet
Failing kidneys cannot remove excess fluid. This causes sodium retention leading to swelling (oedema) in the ankles, feet, legs, and sometimes the face.
Extreme Fatigue & Weakness
Kidneys produce erythropoietin — a hormone that makes red blood cells. Kidney disease causes anaemia, leading to constant fatigue and weakness.
Shortness of Breath
Fluid buildup in the lungs (pulmonary oedema) or anaemia from kidney failure can cause breathlessness even at rest — a serious emergency sign.
Nausea, Vomiting & Loss of Appetite
Toxin buildup (uraemia) in the blood causes persistent nausea, vomiting, and a metallic taste in the mouth. Weight loss follows due to poor appetite.
High Blood Pressure (Difficult to Control)
Kidneys regulate blood pressure. Damaged kidneys cause resistant hypertension that does not respond to regular medications — a vicious cycle that worsens kidney damage.
What Causes Kidney Disease?
Understanding the cause is the first step to effective treatment and prevention of further kidney damage.
Diabetes (Type 1 & 2)
The single biggest cause of kidney failure worldwide. High blood sugar damages the tiny blood vessels (glomeruli) that filter the kidneys over time.
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
The second leading cause of kidney failure. Uncontrolled hypertension damages kidney blood vessels, reducing their ability to filter blood effectively.
Glomerulonephritis
Inflammation of the kidney's filtering units (glomeruli). Can be caused by infections, autoimmune diseases like lupus, or IgA nephropathy.
Polycystic Kidney Disease
Inherited condition where fluid-filled cysts grow in the kidneys, slowly replacing normal kidney tissue and impairing function over decades.
Recurrent UTIs & Kidney Infections
Repeated urinary tract infections and kidney infections (pyelonephritis) can cause permanent scarring of kidney tissue if left untreated.
Overuse of Painkillers & Medications
NSAIDs (ibuprofen, diclofenac), certain antibiotics, and herbal medicines taken in excess can directly damage kidney tissue — a very common and underdiagnosed cause.

Learn More →What Happens During a Dialysis Session?
Haemodialysis is a life-sustaining procedure for patients with kidney failure. Here's exactly what happens during each session at Satyadev Hospital, Patna.
Pre-Dialysis Assessment
Weight, blood pressure, and vital signs checked. Your dialysis prescription (duration, flow rate, dialysate) is reviewed and adjusted by the nephrology team.
⏱ 10–15 minutesVascular Access Connection
Needles are placed into your fistula or a catheter is connected. Blood flows from your body through the dialysis machine's tubing system.
⏱ 5–10 minutesBlood Filtration (Dialysis)
Your blood passes through the dialyser (artificial kidney) which removes waste products, excess fluid, and toxins. The cleaned blood is returned to your body continuously.
⏱ 3–4 hoursMonitoring Throughout
Blood pressure, heart rate, and blood flow are monitored every 30 minutes by trained dialysis nurses. Adjustments made immediately if needed.
⏱ Throughout sessionPost-Dialysis Assessment
Weight and blood pressure re-checked. Needles removed, access site dressed. You rest briefly before going home. Most patients feel lighter and more comfortable after dialysis.
⏱ 15–20 minutes
How Kidney Disease Is Diagnosed
Accurate diagnosis is critical. Our nephrology team uses a combination of blood tests, urine tests, and imaging to precisely evaluate your kidney health and stage of disease.
Blood Tests
Serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), GFR calculation, uric acid, electrolytes (sodium, potassium), and complete blood count to assess kidney function and anaemia.
Urine Tests
Urine routine microscopy, urine culture, 24-hour urine protein test, and urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) to detect protein leakage and infection.
Ultrasound of Kidneys
Size, shape, and echogenicity of kidneys evaluated. Detects cysts, stones, hydronephrosis, and structural abnormalities. Available 24×7 at our centre.
CT Scan / MRI
Advanced imaging to detect kidney masses, complex cysts, vascular abnormalities, and guide biopsy planning. Available in-house with same-day reports.
Kidney Biopsy
When the cause of kidney disease is unclear, a guided biopsy provides a definitive diagnosis — essential for glomerulonephritis, lupus nephritis, and nephrotic syndrome.
What to Eat & Avoid for Kidney Health
Diet plays a crucial role in managing kidney disease. Follow this kidney-friendly guide — your nephrologist will personalise it based on your stage and blood reports.
❌ Foods to Avoid
- High-salt foods — packaged snacks, pickles, papad, processed meats, canned foods
- High-potassium foods — bananas, oranges, potatoes, tomatoes, coconut water (for CKD stages 3–5)
- Excess dairy and high-phosphorus foods — milk, cheese, nuts, colas (dark sodas)
- Excess animal protein — red meat, processed meats (accelerates kidney decline)
- NSAIDs and painkillers without doctor's advice — ibuprofen, diclofenac, aspirin
- Herbal supplements and unverified Ayurvedic medicines (many are nephrotoxic)
- Excess fluid intake if on fluid restriction (ask your nephrologist for your daily limit)
✅ Kidney-Friendly Foods
- White rice and plain rotis — low potassium, easy on kidneys
- Low-potassium vegetables — cabbage, cauliflower, bottle gourd (lauki), ridge gourd
- Low-potassium fruits — apples, pears, grapes, berries (in moderation)
- Egg whites — high-quality protein without the phosphorus of egg yolks
- Fish (2–3 times/week) — omega-3 helps reduce kidney inflammation
- Adequate water — unless on fluid restriction, 2–3 litres daily prevents stones
- Garlic and onions — natural flavour without salt, anti-inflammatory properties
Important: Kidney diet is highly individual — what is safe for one patient may be harmful for another. Always get a personalised diet plan from our nephrology team based on your blood reports and CKD stage.
When to Seek Immediate Kidney Care
These symptoms require immediate medical attention. Call us at 091222 37338 or go to the emergency department right away.
No Urine Output
Complete stoppage of urine for more than 12 hours is a kidney emergency requiring immediate evaluation and often emergency dialysis.
Confusion or Seizures
Severe uraemia (toxin buildup from kidney failure) can cause confusion, agitation, seizures, and loss of consciousness — life-threatening emergency.
Irregular Heartbeat
High potassium (hyperkalaemia) from kidney failure causes dangerous heart rhythm abnormalities that can lead to cardiac arrest if not treated immediately.
Severe Breathlessness
Fluid overload from kidney failure floods the lungs causing pulmonary oedema — an immediate life-threatening emergency requiring emergency dialysis.
Uncontrollable Vomiting
Persistent vomiting with inability to take medications or fluids in a kidney failure patient requires emergency care to prevent further deterioration.
Blood Creatinine >10 mg/dL
Critically elevated creatinine indicates severe kidney failure. Immediate hospitalisation and emergency dialysis evaluation are required without delay.
