Digestive Health. Kidney Health. Restored.

Many GERD cases respond well to medication and lifestyle changes (diet, elevation, avoiding triggers). However, if medication doesn’t work after adequate trial, or if a patient wants to stop long-term medication, anti-reflux surgery (fundoplication) can be highly effective, especially with minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques. Send us your endoscopy report and medication history, and a gastroenterologist will advise whether you’re a candidate for surgery or if medical management should continue.

Early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be slowed or stabilized with good blood pressure control, diabetes management, and appropriate medications. However, advanced CKD typically progresses toward kidney failure, at which point dialysis or transplant becomes necessary. Your nephrologist will assess your specific kidney function and disease cause to advise on whether medical management, dialysis preparation, or transplant evaluation is the right path.

Hemodialysis uses a machine to filter blood through an external filter, typically done 3 times per week at a dialysis center. Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of the abdomen to filter blood, can often be done at home, and offers more flexibility in scheduling. Which is better depends on your kidney function, lifestyle, and medical situation — your nephrologist will help you choose based on your individual needs.

Costs vary significantly — diagnostic endoscopy or kidney ultrasound is relatively affordable, while surgery, dialysis management, or transplant evaluation is higher-ticket. Treatment in India generally remains significantly more affordable than Thailand while maintaining strong standards. Once we review your reports, we provide a transparent, itemized cost estimate.

Yes, and they often need to be, since advanced liver disease can affect kidney function (hepatorenal syndrome) and kidney disease can complicate liver care. Hospitals we work with have integrated teams experienced in managing these overlapping conditions. Send us both your liver and kidney function reports so the reviewing team can assess your specific situation and coordinate care accordingly.

Yes. Colorectal cancer often develops without symptoms in early stages, which is why screening is recommended starting at age 45-50 (or earlier if you have risk factors or family history). Colonoscopy can detect and remove polyps before they become cancer, making it one of the most effective cancer prevention tools available. If you’re in a high-risk group or have a family history, ask your doctor about screening.

Many kidney stones pass on their own with hydration and pain management. However, larger stones, stones that cause obstruction, or recurrent stones may require intervention — options range from extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL, a non-surgical procedure using shock waves) to minimally invasive endoscopic removal or, rarely, open surgery. Your nephrologist or urologist will determine the best approach based on stone size, location, and your individual situation.
