NEPHROLOGY
Care for your kidneys — from early kidney problems and blood-pressure-related damage to advanced kidney failure and dialysis.
Kidneys fail quietly — early care makes the difference
Your kidneys filter waste, balance your fluids, help control blood pressure and keep your minerals stable. Kidney disease often develops silently, especially in people with diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease — which is why early detection and steady monitoring matter so much.
At Putra Medical Centre, our nephrology service covers the full range, from early kidney dysfunction through to advanced failure needing dialysis — delivered across outpatient clinics, inpatient care, and dedicated dialysis facilities.
What we help with
Kidney problems rarely announce themselves. Start with whichever of these applies to you.
Diabetes or high blood pressure
Protecting your kidneys from silent damage.
Early kidney problems on a blood test
Caught before you'd feel anything.
Swelling or fluid retention
A sign the kidneys need attention.
Advanced kidney failure
Dialysis and ongoing care.
Tiredness from anaemia
Common in kidney disease, and treatable.
A kidney infection
Assessed and treated.
Electrolyte or mineral imbalance
Corrected before it causes harm.
What we can do about it
Our kidney care falls into five areas. Pick the one that matches your situation.
A blood test and a urine test are all it takes to see how your kidneys are doing.
What this includes
- Blood tests for filtration rate (eGFR)
- Urine tests for protein leakage
- Regular monitoring for at-risk patients
Detects kidney damage early, long before you'd notice anything yourself.
Structured follow-up that slows chronic kidney disease down, stage by stage.
What this includes
- Stage-based CKD management
- Blood pressure control
- Dietary counselling
- Medication review and adjustment
Slows deterioration and delays the need for dialysis.
Sudden kidney impairment — from infection, dehydration, surgery or medication — caught fast.
What this includes
- Assessment of sudden kidney impairment
- Treatment of the underlying cause
- Inpatient management
Prompt treatment prevents permanent kidney damage.
Keeping the balance your kidneys normally handle for you — sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphate.
What this includes
- Correction of sodium and potassium imbalance
- Acid-base management
- Fluid overload
- Calcium and phosphate (bone and mineral) disorders
- Anaemia management in CKD
Prevents dangerous heart and nerve complications, protects your bones, and restores energy levels.
Preparing for dialysis calmly and in advance, rather than in a crisis.
What this includes
- Dialysis planning and counselling
- Vascular access creation
- Catheter placement
A safe, unhurried transition when kidney function declines.
Structured dialysis care, close to home.
PMCK runs a dedicated dialysis unit — scheduled hemodialysis supervised by nephrologists and trained dialysis nurses, with continuous monitoring, strict infection control, water-quality monitoring and regular vascular access checks. Outpatient dialysis runs on comfortable multi-weekly sessions with ongoing lab monitoring so you keep your routine; inpatient dialysis supports hospitalised patients with ICU coordination; and emergency dialysis is available for unstable cases with severe fluid overload or electrolyte imbalance.
Your first visit, step by step
Here's how a first nephrology appointment usually goes.
Assessment
History, blood and urine tests, and your blood pressure.
Diagnosis & stage
How well the kidneys are working, and why.
Your plan
Slowing progression with medication, diet and blood-pressure control.
If needed, dialysis planning
Access created ahead of time, without a rush.
Ongoing care
CKD clinic follow-up, or scheduled dialysis.
Outpatient dialysis
Comfortable, scheduled multi-weekly sessions with ongoing lab monitoring and medication adjustment during care — so you can keep a structured routine and continuity of care.
Inpatient & emergency dialysis
Dialysis support for hospitalised patients, with ICU coordination where needed, and emergency dialysis for unstable cases with severe fluid overload or life-threatening electrolyte imbalance.
What you get at PMCK nephrology
