Question 1

How much does one dialysis session cost at Asian Hospital?

Accepted Answer

A single haemodialysis session is typically ₹1,800–2,200, inclusive of consumables (dialyser, lines). Cashless coverage for empanelled insurance (Ayushman, ESIC, most TPAs). See /rates or /procedures/dialysis for the breakdown.

Question 2

Do you do kidney transplants in Gulbarga?

Accepted Answer

We do not currently perform transplant surgery on-site; that requires a designated transplant centre. We provide complete pre-transplant workup, donor evaluation, post-transplant follow-up, and immunosuppression management. Patients are referred to partner centres in Bangalore / Hyderabad for the surgery itself.

Question 3

What are early signs of kidney problems?

Accepted Answer

Early CKD is usually silent — that is why screening (creatinine, urine ACR) is important for diabetics and hypertensives. Late signs: ankle swelling, breathlessness, fatigue, reduced urine, foamy urine, persistent itching. If you have diabetes or BP, ask your physician for a kidney function test at every annual check-up.

Question 4

Can my creatinine come down once it has risen?

Accepted Answer

Partly — if the cause is acute (dehydration, drug-induced) and caught early, kidney function can fully recover. In chronic damage (CKD stage 3-5) the goal is to slow progression rather than reverse it. Treatment of underlying cause (control sugar, control BP, avoid kidney-toxic drugs) is the key lever.

Question 5

Do you have a vegetarian-friendly renal diet plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes — our in-house dietitian works specifically with CKD patients to balance protein, potassium, phosphorus and sodium within Indian-vegetarian (or non-vegetarian) eating patterns. Diet counselling is included with nephrology OPD.
