Bringing Advanced Kidney Care Closer to Home: Medanta’s New OPD in Jabalpur
By Dr. Debabrata Mukherjee, Senior Director, Nephrology, Medanta Gurugram

Kidney diseases remain one of India’s most pressing healthcare challenges, affecting millions of lives every year. At Medanta Gurugram, we have always believed that access to advanced, evidence-based kidney care should not be limited to metro cities alone. It is with this vision that I am excited to announce the launch of our monthly nephrology OPD in Jabalpur, where we will bring cutting-edge evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment closer to patients’ homes.

Our aim is to provide comprehensive care for all types of kidney disorders. The new OPD will focus on consultation and advanced care for complex kidney conditions, offering patients the benefit of state-of-the-art procedures backed by multidisciplinary expertise. This includes services from pre-transplant assessment and dialysis management to surgical interventions and post-transplant rehabilitation.

Medanta’s kidney transplant program is internationally recognized for excellence in ABO compatible and incompatible transplants, living-related and cadaveric transplants, multi-organ transplants, and the care of highly sensitized patients. Beyond transplantation, our nephrology department offers a full spectrum of services including critical care nephrology, kidney biopsies, AV fistula surgery, dialysis catheter insertion, and advanced dialysis techniques.

The Jabalpur OPD will be held every second Thursday of the month at Disha Multi-Speciality Healthcare (a unit of Bhandari Hospital), Napier Town, from 10 am to 12 noon. Through this outreach, our goal is to ensure that patients receive timely, precise, and compassionate care without the need to travel long distances.

Launching this OPD is a reflection of Medanta’s commitment to making advanced kidney care accessible beyond the metros. It is my sincere hope that through these services, patients in Jabalpur and nearby regions will receive not just medical treatment, but also reassurance, guidance, and a new lease on life.

For appointments and OPD schedule, please contact: +91 93294 85162.

Together, we are taking a significant step in the fight against kidney disease, and I look forward to meeting patients and their families in Jabalpur.

How does diet affect kidney function?

Image
Diet plays a critical role in maintaining healthy kidney function and managing kidney-related conditions. The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste products from the blood, balancing electrolytes, and regulating fluid levels. Here's how diet can impact kidney function: 1. Protein Intake Excess Protein: High-protein diets can put additional strain on the kidneys, particularly in individuals with pre-existing kidney conditions. The kidneys must work harder to eliminate the byproducts of protein metabolism, which can accelerate kidney damage in susceptible individuals. Moderate Protein: For those with healthy kidneys, moderate protein intake supports bodily functions without undue stress. In kidney disease, reducing protein intake may be recommended to lessen the burden on the kidneys. 2. Sodium High Sodium: Excessive sodium intake can lead to fluid retention and high blood pressure, which can further strain the kidneys. Managing sodium intake is cr...

Can kidneys start working again after dialysis?

Yes, kidneys can sometimes start working again after dialysis, depending on the underlying cause of kidney failure and the extent of kidney damage. This is more likely in cases of acute kidney injury (AKI), where the kidneys have temporarily lost function but have the potential to recover with appropriate treatment and time. In such cases, dialysis is used as a temporary measure to support the patient while the kidneys heal. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially in the later stages, the damage to the kidneys is usually permanent, and the likelihood of regaining sufficient kidney function is low. However, some patients with less severe CKD might see an improvement in kidney function if the underlying condition causing the kidney damage is effectively treated and managed. Factors influencing the potential for kidney recovery include: Cause of Kidney Failure: Reversible causes, such as dehydration, certain infections, or obstruction, may lead to recovery of kidney function...

How to find the best Donor for kidney Transplant?

Image
  Finding a suitable donor for a kidney transplant can be a complex process. Donors can be classified into two main categories: 1. Living Donors Related Donors: These are family members, such as siblings, parents, or children, who are genetically related and often have a higher chance of compatibility. Unrelated Donors: These include friends or even altruistic strangers who are willing to donate a kidney. These donors are carefully screened for compatibility and overall health. Advantages of Living Donors: Reduced Waiting Time: Living donor transplants can be scheduled in advance, potentially shortening the waiting period compared to deceased donor transplants. Better Outcomes: Kidneys from living donors often have better outcomes and longer survival rates compared to those from deceased donors. 2. Deceased Donors Organ Donor Registry: Kidneys from deceased donors come from individuals who have passed a...
