Nephrology Department
The Nephrology department specializes in the prevention and treatment of diseases of the kidneys. At Royal Bahrain Hospital, we are committed to providing the necessary kidney care to patients who are at different stages of the disease. The department offers a wide range of consultative care and advanced treatment of kidney disease to adults as well as young children whether their condition is at a mild or an advanced and life-threatening stage.
Our kidney specialists will help patients identify the severity of their condition, detect early kidney disease to slow down its progression, recommend the best treatment to keep their kidneys healthy as well as educate patients on their condition so that they can make informed choices and therefore actively participate in their treatment process.
Our healthcare professionals work in collaboration with specialists from other departments such as dieticians, surgeons and therapists to provide the best outcomes for the patient. We also aim to improve chronic kidney diseases so that patients can lead better lives and prevent the risk of other diseases that can potentially arise.
