FAQs

Q: When should a patient with creatinine elevation be referred to a nephrologist rather than a general physician?
A referral is necessary if the calculated Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) drops below 60 or if the creatinine increase is sudden and unexplained. You should also see a specialist if the elevation is accompanied by nephrotic-range proteinuria or abnormalities like red blood cells in the urine sediment.
Q: What is peritoneal dialysis and how does it compare to haemodialysis in terms of lifestyle impact?
Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of your abdomen as a filter and is typically performed daily at home, often while you sleep. Unlike haemodialysis, which requires visiting a center several times a week, it offers significantly more flexibility for travel and a normal work schedule.
Q: How is a kidney biopsy performed and what conditions is it used to diagnose?
A biopsy is a percutaneous procedure where a thin needle is inserted through the skin to collect a tissue sample under ultrasound guidance. It is essential for diagnosing the specific cause of kidney inflammation (glomerulonephritis) or identifying unusual protein deposits in the renal tissue.
Q: What genetic kidney diseases can be managed medically?
Conditions such as Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) and Alport Syndrome are managed through targeted blood pressure control and medication to slow disease progression. Other hereditary issues like familial renal glucosuria are managed by balancing electrolytes and monitoring for long-term functional decline.
Q: How is kidney function monitored in patients who have received a transplant?
Post-transplant monitoring involves frequent blood tests to check creatinine levels and the concentration of anti-rejection medications in the bloodstream. Doctors also monitor for clinical signs of rejection, such as sudden weight gain, reduced urine output, or localized pain over the transplant site.
Q: Is Dr. Jony Agarwal a good nephrologist at Apollo Hospitals Lucknow?
Dr. Jony Agarwal is a highly regarded specialist with over 7 years of experience, including a significant tenure as an Assistant Professor at AIIMS Jodhpur. Patients value his meticulous approach to diagnosis and his expertise in managing complex cases from acute renal failure to high-risk transplants.
Q: What genetic and immunological kidney diseases does Dr. Jony Agarwal treat?
He specializes in treating immunological disorders like glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome, where the body's immune system attacks the kidneys. Additionally, he manages genetic conditions such as Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), Alport Syndrome, and Gitelman Syndrome.
Q: What dialysis services and interventional nephrology procedures does Dr. Jony Agarwal offer?
Dr. Agarwal provides advanced dialysis modes including SLED, CRRT, and Hemodiafiltration for critically ill patients. His interventional expertise includes the insertion of dialysis catheters and Permcaths, as well as performing precision renal biopsies.
Q: At what point should a CKD patient consult Dr. Jony Agarwal rather than continuing with their primary physician?
Consultation with Dr. Agarwal is vital if your kidney disease reaches Stage 3 or if you experience complications like difficult-to-control hypertension and anemia. Specialized care is also required if there is a sudden drop in kidney function or if you need to discuss options for dialysis or transplant.
Q: How do I book a kidney specialist consultation with Dr. Jony Agarwal at Apollo Hospitals Lucknow?
