FAQs
What are the main causes of kidney failure?
Diabetes, hypertension, infections, and genetic kidney conditions.
How is dialysis performed?
Either through haemodialysis (filtering blood using a machine) or peritoneal dialysis (using the body’s natural membrane).
Can patients live long on dialysis?
Yes, with proper care many live for years, though transplantation usually offers a better quality of life.
Are all kidney diseases permanent?
Not always—some conditions like acute kidney injury or infections are reversible if treated early.
Does SLG perform kidney transplants?
Yes, with a dedicated team providing complete pre- and post-transplant care.
