Our Technological Advancements

Cutting-edge facility dedicated to addressing this prevalent condition among the elderly. Utilization of advanced laser techniques such as Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HOLEP) in addition to traditional microsurgical options like Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) and Saline TURP (PlasmaKinetic Resection).

ESWL, also known as non-invasive extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, is a procedure used to effectively treat appropriate kidney stones. This method breaks down the stone into granular particles resembling sand, which are subsequently flushed out of the body.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy, is a minimally invasive procedure used to extract kidney stones by creating a small access point to the stone from within the Kidney.

Uretero-renoscopy combined with Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) is an endoscopic procedure utilized for breaking and extracting ureteric stones. This technique involves the application of energy sources such as pneumatic lithotripsy and laser lithotripsy.

Reconstructive Urology Facilities specializing in Complex Urological conditions such as Stricture Urethra, Hypospadias, Epispadius, and Genito-Urinary Fistula.

An innovative solution for the treatment and management of Urinary Stone Disease in a contemporary setting.

Our Specialized Clinics

The Glomerulonephritis Clinic at Medica Superspecialty Hospital in Kolkata is a specialized center focused on the diagnosis and management of glomerulonephritis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli—the tiny filtering units within the kidneys. Glomerulonephritis disrupts the kidney’s ability to properly filter waste and excess fluid from the blood, leading to symptoms such as proteinuria (protein in the urine), hematuria (blood in the urine), hypertension, and swelling. Over time, this inflammation can impair kidney function, potentially progressing to chronic kidney disease or even kidney failure if left untreated.

Our Clinic offers comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plans, leveraging advanced diagnostic techniques and therapeutic interventions to mitigate inflammation, preserve kidney function, and improve patient outcomes.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, exerts damaging effects on the body, particularly the kidneys. Prolonged Hypertension can lead to Renal Artery narrowing, reducing blood flow to the kidneys and impairing their ability to filter waste effectively. Over time, this can contribute to the development of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and increase the risk of Kidney failure. Moreover, Hypertension accelerates the progression of existing kidney conditions, such as Diabetic Nephropathy or Glomerulonephritis, further compromising Renal function.

At our Clinic, our team of expert Nephrologists employs specialized diagnostic tools and personalized treatment strategies to manage hypertension effectively, aiming to mitigate its adverse effects on Renal health and improve patient outcomes.

At our Dialysis Clinic, we specialize in providing essential renal care for patients with Kidney failure. Dialysis serves as a lifeline for individuals whose kidneys can no longer adequately filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood.

During Dialysis, blood is circulated through a machine that acts as an artificial kidney, removing toxins and balancing electrolytes. This vital process helps regulate blood pressure, maintain proper levels of essential minerals like potassium and sodium, and manage fluid balance in the body. By mimicking the function of healthy kidneys, dialysis not only prolongs life but also improves overall well-being, allowing patients to continue their daily activities with greater comfort and stability. Our Clinic offers state-of-the-art facilities and a compassionate team of nephrology experts dedicated to ensuring optimal care and support for every patient undergoing dialysis treatment.

At Medica Superspecialty Hospital’s Nephrology Department, we specialize in providing comprehensive care for patients battling Diabetes Kidney Disease (DKD).

DKD, a common complication of diabetes, wreaks havoc on the body’s renal system, gradually impairing kidney function. In DKD, persistent high blood sugar levels damage the tiny blood vessels within the kidneys, leading to protein leakage into the urine, elevated blood pressure, and reduced kidney filtration. Over time, this relentless assault on renal function can progress to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and ultimately, kidney failure if left untreated.

Our Diabetes Kidney Disease Clinic is dedicated to early detection, aggressive management of Blood sugar and Blood pressure, and implementing lifestyle modifications to slow the progression of DKD.

The Stone Clinic for Medica Superspecialty Hospital in Kolkata specializes in the comprehensive management of renal calculi, commonly known as kidney stones. Kidney stones are crystalline structures formed in the urinary tract due to various factors such as dehydration, dietary habits, and metabolic disorders. These stones can cause excruciating pain and may lead to complications such as urinary tract infections and kidney damage if left untreated.

At our clinic, we employ advanced diagnostic techniques like imaging studies and urine analysis to accurately identify the size, location, and composition of stones. Our expert Nephrologists then devise personalized treatment plans, which may include dietary modifications, medications, or minimally invasive procedures such as Lithotripsy or Ureteroscopy, to effectively dissolve or remove the stones.

Medica Superspecialty Hospital in Kolkata houses a distinguished Transplant Clinic for Nephrology, specializing in Renal transplantation, a transformative procedure for individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Renal transplantation involves surgically implanting a healthy kidney from a compatible donor into a recipient’s body, replacing the function of failed kidneys. This procedure offers a new lease on life, enabling patients to regain kidney function and alleviate the burden of dialysis. Once transplanted, the new kidney performs the vital functions of filtering waste products, regulating electrolytes, and maintaining fluid balance in the body.

Through meticulous pre-transplant evaluation, personalized donor matching, and post-transplant care, our clinic ensures optimal outcomes while prioritizing patient safety and well-being.

We are dedicated to guiding patients through every step of their transplant journey, offering hope and restoring vitality to those in need of renal intervention.
