Specialist care for kidney health — from early detection of declining kidney function to the long-term management of chronic kidney disease — with qualified nephrologists and on-site laboratory and imaging support.
The Nephrology department at Apollo Clinic Shyamnagar evaluates and manages conditions affecting the kidneys. Kidney disease often develops silently — many people with declining kidney function have no symptoms until the condition is fairly advanced, which is why risk-based screening, not just symptom-driven testing, is central to how kidney health is approached.
Our nephrologists take a detailed history, examine you, and use blood, urine and imaging tests to assess how well your kidneys are functioning and why. Because conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure are the leading causes of kidney damage, a nephrology consultation often means looking closely at how those conditions are being managed as well.
Being part of a multispeciality clinic means kidney function tests and imaging are available in the same building — supported by our Laboratory and Radiology departments — so your consultation, testing and follow-up can happen without unnecessary delay or an outside referral for routine workup.
Nephrology consultations are supported by relevant tests available on-site through our Laboratory and Radiology departments:
| Service | What It Is Used For |
|---|---|
| Nephrology Consultation | Clinical evaluation of kidney function, blood pressure control, swelling, and risk factors such as diabetes; the starting point for diagnosis and ongoing kidney care |
| Kidney (Renal) Function Tests | Blood test (creatinine, urea, electrolytes) measuring how well the kidneys are filtering waste; the core test used to detect and stage kidney disease, available through our Laboratory department |
| Electrolyte Analysis | Checks sodium, potassium and other electrolyte levels, which are directly affected by kidney function and important in monitoring chronic kidney disease |
| Urine Microscopic Examination | Detects protein, blood or abnormal cells in urine, an early indicator of kidney damage often present before symptoms appear |
| Abdominal Ultrasound | Imaging of the kidneys to check size, structure, stones, cysts or obstruction, available through our Radiology department |
The list below covers what we see most often. If your concern is not listed, it does not mean we cannot help — please call the clinic or book a consultation and our nephrologist will advise.

Testing Available On-SiteKidney function tests, electrolyte analysis and abdominal ultrasound are available in the same building, so most nephrology workups can be completed without referral elsewhere. | Diagnosis Before TreatmentWe investigate before prescribing, so you understand what your test results mean and why the recommended treatment or monitoring plan fits your case. | |
Multispeciality ReferralDirect coordination with general medicine, endocrinology and urology within the clinic, since kidney health is closely tied to diabetes, blood pressure and urinary tract conditions. | Structured Follow-UpChronic kidney disease needs ongoing monitoring, not a one-time consultation. Review appointments are built into the plan so your treatment is adjusted based on how your kidney function trends over time. | |
Kidney disease often causes no noticeable symptoms until a significant amount of function has already been lost, since the kidneys can compensate for a long time before problems become apparent. This is why regular kidney function testing is recommended for anyone with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disease, rather than waiting for symptoms.
Not necessarily on its own. Creatinine can be affected by hydration, certain medications, muscle mass and other temporary factors, so a single elevated reading needs to be interpreted alongside other tests and your overall clinical picture. A nephrology consultation can clarify whether it reflects a genuine kidney issue or something else.
Kidney function lost to chronic disease usually cannot be fully reversed, but the rate of further decline can often be slowed significantly with the right treatment, blood pressure and blood sugar control, and lifestyle changes. Earlier diagnosis generally means more can be done to protect the kidney function you still have.
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of kidney disease, so regular monitoring — typically kidney function tests and a urine protein check at least once a year, or more often if already abnormal — is generally advised for anyone with diabetes. Your nephrologist or physician can set a schedule suited to your specific risk level.
Swelling in the legs, ankles or face can be a sign that the kidneys are not filtering fluid and waste effectively, though it can also come from heart, liver or other causes. A nephrology evaluation, usually including kidney function tests and a clinical examination, helps determine whether kidney function is contributing to the swelling.
