Nephrology
The Kidney Institute at Saideep Hospital offers comprehensive nephrology services under one roof.
Patients with kidney disease need quality care, guidance and hope. As leaders in kidney disease management, we provide a full spectrum of services and take pride in our teamwork to achieve the best possible outcomes in a range of disorders from congenital to acquired and degenerative. Our nephrologists (kidney doctors) direct all aspects of treatment, including early intervention, transplant support and dialysis services, like peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and clinical research. Our nephrologists are committed to providing effective solutions to patients and are highly experienced in managing extreme disease conditions. Our physicians work in sync with multispecialty teams for alleviating the pain and suffering of patients.
Dialysis
Saideep Hospital offers cutting-edge dialysis services, with the latest technical advances combined with a caring, patient-centric approach.
Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis uses a special filter called a dialyzer as an artificial kidney to clean the blood of waste products and remove the extra fluid that accumulates. The dialysis machine pumps blood through the dialyzer. The cleaned blood flows out of the dialyzer and back into the bloodstream. Most people undergo three dialysis sessions each week, for four to five hours each time using their dialysis access. During dialysis, a person also receives medication to replace the hormones that the kidneys are unable to produce.
At Saideep Hospitals dialysis unit, we have 8 state of the at Hemodialysis machine which are functional round the clock, under the supervision of Saideep’s Nephrology team.
The dedicated team also extends their services to Rupatitis B, C & HIV Positive Patients on hemodialysis.
The ICUS at saideep hospital provide bedside Hemodialysis to the critically ill.

The skillful nephrology team at saideep hospital also provides acute Peritoneal Dialysis, authomated peritoneal dialysis and continous ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis as well
Managing Critical Care Nephrology
Saideep Hospital’ tertiary care facilities enable doctors to treat all kinds of kidney diseases under intensive care, deploying advanced techniques backed by superior expertise. The critical care nephrology facilities include:
- Acute Peritoneal Dialysis
- Sustained low efficiency dialysis
- Slow continuous ultra filtration
- Plasma exchange (Plasmapheresis)
- Extracorporeal removal of toxins & poisons (Haemoperfusions)
Department has perfected and refined several laparoscopic techniques that offer patients improved outcomes. These techniques are now routinely used for many kidney disorders and also for removing and transplanting kidneys in live-donor transplants.

Our Vision
Kidney Transplantation
The best option for end stage kidney disease patients is kidney transplant. Our Nephrology department is equipped with cutting edge transplant OTs & have a multidisciplinary approach towards managements of such patients.
We there by aspire to perform the 1st Organ transplant in Ahmednagar Region
Percutaneous Renal Biopsies
At Saideep Hospital percutaneous renal biopsy is an integral part of the clinical practice at the Kidney Institute. It is essential in the diagnosis of glomerular, vascular and tubulointerstitial diseases of the kidney, providing information that is invaluable in prognosis and patient management. The use of real-time ultrasound and automated biopsy needles has simplified and improved the success and safety of this procedure. The Kidney Institute continuously trains young nephrologists in the proper technique of performing renal biopsy procedures.
Open biopsy
After giving a general anesthetic, the doctor makes an incision in the skin and surgically removes a piece of the kidney. Depending on the lab findings, further surgery may be performed.
Nephropathology
Nephropathology is a pathology subspecialty, focusing on the microscopic diagnosis and interpretation of kidney biopsies. Most nephropathology focuses on understanding the key features associated with the disease processes seen in the patients’ own kidneys as well as in those who have received transplanted kidneys. State-of-the-art procedures for kidney transplantation include:
- Cadaveric renal transplantation
- Cadaver-donor kidney transplantation
- Living donor kidney transplants (from both related and unrelated donors)
- Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy
