Pushpagiri Medical College hospital is a renowned medical institution offering comprehensive healthcare services with a strong focus on specialized care. Here's a glimpse into some of our key specialties:
The dialysis Unit of the Nephrology department provides care and treatment for individuals with kidney failure or impaired kidney function. Dialysis is a medical procedure that involves the removal of waste products and excess fluids from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to perform this function adequately. There are two primary types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.
Hemodialysis is the most common form of dialysis. During hemodialysis, a dialyzer is used to remove waste products and excess fluids from the blood. The patient's blood is circulated through the dialyzer, which acts as an artificial kidney. This process typically takes place in a dialysis centre or unit.
Peritoneal Dialysis involves using the peritoneum (the lining of the abdomen) as a natural filter. A special solution is introduced into the abdomen through a catheter, and the peritoneum acts as a semi-permeable membrane, allowing waste and excess fluids to pass into the solution. After some time, the solution is drained out, taking the waste products with it. Peritoneal dialysis can often be performed at home, but patients may still visit a dialysis unit for check-ups and supplies.
A Nephrology Transplant Unit in our hospital is a specialized one that focuses on the care and treatment of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who require kidney transplantation. Nephrology is the medical speciality that deals with the study and management of kidney diseases, and a transplant unit within this speciality is specifically dedicated to kidney transplantation.
Mammography is a specialized medical imaging technique used to screen and diagnose breast conditions, particularly to detect breast cancer in its early stages. It involves the use of low-dose X-rays to create detailed images of the breast tissue.
