Almana Hospital's Nephrology Department

At Almana Hospital, our Nephrology department is dedicated to keeping your kidneys healthy. Our team of highly skilled and experienced nephrologists utilizes advanced diagnostics and treatment options to manage a wide range of kidney conditions.

Your kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste products and excess fluids from your blood, maintaining electrolyte balance, and producing hormones essential for overall health. When kidney function declines, it can lead to serious health complications.

  • Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): We offer comprehensive management plans to slow the progression of CKD and improve your quality of life.
  • Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): Providing prompt diagnosis and treatment for sudden kidney function decline.
  • Glomerular diseases: A group of conditions affecting the tiny filters within the kidneys, including glomerulonephritis.
  • Diabetic Nephropathy: Kidney damage caused by diabetes.
  • Hypertension-related kidney disease: High blood pressure can damage the kidneys over time.
  • Kidney stones: We offer various treatment options for painful kidney stones.
  • Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD): A genetic condition causing the growth of cysts in the kidneys.
  • Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Treating and preventing recurrent UTIs.
  • Electrolyte and acid-base imbalances: Restoring proper electrolyte and acid-base balance in the blood.
