Kidney services

Although not widely available in the private health sector in the UK, kidney dialysis is available at The Clinic for private patients who need dialysis when they are with us, so that they can get the best possible care. The kidney centre offers both haemodialysis and ambulatory forms of dialysis.

The service is supported by the dialysis and the urology and renal teams.

• Dialysis: haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis (CAPD and APD) for inpatients staying in for treatment (either related or unrelated to their kidney problem)
• Kidney transplantation: pre-operative assessment, post-operative care and transplant follow-up
• Renal stone disease: kidney stones themselves are managed by urologists who perform the necessary surgery. Our kidney specialist consultants carry out medical investigations of patients who have had kidney stones and give advice on how they can prevent further episodes
• Diabetic nephropathy (diabetic kidney disease)
• Glomerular and tubulointerstitial disease
• Renovascular disease
• Acute kidney injury
• Chronic kidney disease

• Multisystem diseases such as SLE and systemic vasculitis
