The medical and surgical speciality of urology focuses on the identification and treatment of urinary system problems (kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra). It also addresses the adrenal glands in both sexes and the male reproductive organs (penis, testes, scrotum, prostate, etc.). Due to the urinary tract’s role in both storing and processing urine as well as filtering blood, it is crucial. Urologists are medical specialists with a focus on the field of urology who are educated to identify, diagnose, and treat this spectrum of conditions.
The internal medicine subspecialty of nephrology is dedicated to the detection and management of kidney-related illnesses. Dialysis and kidney transplantation are two examples of renal replacement therapies that are addressed, along with their diagnosis, treatment, and maintenance. Those who focus on treating kidney disorders are known as nephrologists.
The fact that urologists concentrate on conditions affecting the urinary system is one of the main distinctions between nephrology and urology. This includes the kidneys, but they also know other physiological systems, such as the male reproductive system. Conversely, nephrologists focus only on diseases that affect the kidneys’ ability to function, not on diseases that affect other organs or systems that are unrelated to the kidneys. When it comes to treating problems connected to the kidneys, urology and nephrology may overlap. Because some illnesses may require care from both specialities, it is not uncommon for urologists and nephrologists to work together in a medical setting.
Medark never compromises in providing the best treatment for any condition with a high success rate. A few conditions we handle under Urology and Nephrology are as follows:
Acute Kidney Failure:
When your kidneys are suddenly unable to filter waste from your blood, acute renal failure, a fatal condition, arises. Because it can develop within a short period—a few hours or days—it is known as acute renal failure. When your kidneys lose their ability to filter, dangerous levels of waste may accumulate, and the chemical balance of your blood may become unbalanced.
Addison’s Disease:
A chronic disorder known as Addison’s disease causes insufficient cortisol and aldosterone production by your adrenal glands. Symptoms of Addison’s disease may take months to fully manifest.
Benign Prostate Hypertrophy:
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as prostate gland enlargement, is a disorder where your prostate enlarges and causes bothersome urinary symptoms, such as obstructing the passage of urine out of the bladder. Kidney, bladder, and urinary tract issues can potentially result from it.
Chronic Kidney Disease:
Chronic kidney disease, commonly known as chronic kidney failure, is characterised by a progressive decline in kidney function. Anyone might be affected by this widespread illness, which is frequently linked to ageing.
Prostate Cancer:
Cancerous growths in the prostate gland are known as prostate cancer. The seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperm is produced by the prostate, a little walnut-shaped gland in males.
Prostatitis:
Prostatitis is a condition that affects the prostate gland and results in infection, inflammation, and discomfort. Pain in the groin, pelvic region, or genitals or difficulty in urinating are typical symptoms.
Medark always strives hard in providing the best facilities for our patients and solemnly works together for their betterment.
Dialysis: People with failing kidneys can receive therapy through dialysis. The kidneys’ tasks, which include cleansing and filtering the blood and balancing electrolytes, are carried out by a machine in this treatment.
