The unit is also known for accurate diagnosis using renal biopsies besides plasmapheresis, which is a blood purification procedure that is used to treat several autoimmune diseases.

Other procedures, unique to our center, include continuous veno-venous haemo-fitration, online haemo diafiltration to treat acute renal failure and charcoal haemoperfusion to tackle severe toxicity. A facility to perform molecular absorption recirculating system and single pass albumin dialysis, which enables simultaneous liver and kidney detoxifiation, is unique to this department. Further, the department has facilities and expertise to carry out combined liver and kidney transplants. The department offers a super-speciality degree in nephrology and a bachelor’s degree in dialysis technology. It has plans to expand to areas such as ABO-incompatible renal transplantation, paediatric nephrology, interventional nephrology and stem cell therapy for kidney diseases.
