Advanced Kidney Care with Compassion and Expertise

Nephrology is the branch of internal medicine that focuses on the function, health, and diseases of the kidneys. Kidneys play a critical role in filtering waste, regulating blood pressure, maintaining electrolyte balance, and producing essential hormones. When kidney function is compromised, it can lead to serious health problems if not managed timely.

At Oncoplus Hospital, our nephrology specialists work closely with other departments like internal medicine, cardiology, and urology to provide a multidisciplinary approach to kidney care.
