Nephrology
Kidneys are vital organs in the human body that play a pivotal role in overall physical well-being. These bean-shaped, fist-sized organs carry many bodily functions, including blood purification, flushing out toxins, regulating fluids and chemicals, controlling blood pressure, and making red blood cells.
When these organs lose their ability to filter the blood of its impurities and toxins, it severely affects the health, disturbing the entire quality of life. Many health conditions can affect the kidneys. From the most complained kidney stones to life-threatening kidney failure, renal organs need excellent medical care, supported by advanced surgical interventions, if required.
