Critical Care Nephrology

Critical care nephrology treats kidney failure in patients who are seriously ill, often in the intensive care unit, with infection, shock, major surgery, heart failure or multi-organ problems. Their blood pressure may be unstable, so standard dialysis can be too demanding, and gentler, slower forms of kidney support are used instead.

Apex provides dialysis facilities for ICU patients, including continuous renal replacement therapy, and a nephrologist is available around the clock for emergencies. Families near Borivali who search for a Nephrologist in Borivali for a critically ill relative can confirm ICU dialysis availability through the group helpline. Risks include low blood pressure, clotting of the dialysis circuit, bleeding, electrolyte disturbance and catheter-related infection, and treatment is guided minute by minute by the patient's response.

Apex provides the following critical care nephrology services:

  • Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy: Apex provides CRRT for unstable ICU patients with kidney failure.
  • Emergency Dialysis: Apex provides urgent dialysis for dangerous fluid overload, potassium or acid imbalance.
  • Acute Kidney Injury Care: Apex treats sudden kidney injury in critically ill patients.
  • 24-Hour Nephrologist Cover: Apex maintains nephrologist availability for emergencies at any hour.
