Kidney-health awareness
Kidney concerns can be quiet early.
The supplied artwork highlights possible kidney-related warning signs and the value of assessment. Foamy urine, swelling, difficult-to-control blood pressure, fatigue and lower-back pain are nonspecific and can have many causes; they do not diagnose kidney disease on their own.
Seek urgent medical assessment for very low urine output, severe breathlessness, chest pain, confusion, collapse, severe swelling or rapidly worsening symptoms. Routine screening and follow-up are guided by clinical history and test results.

Nephrology services
Kidney assessment and continuing care.
Care begins with an individual nephrology assessment. Tests, medicines, monitoring, referral and follow-up depend on the patient's condition and current clinical findings.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Management
Regular monitoring, medicine review and lifestyle guidance intended to support kidney function, slow progression where clinically possible and manage complications.
Hypertension & Kidney Disorders
Assessment and treatment planning for high blood pressure caused by or affecting kidney function, with individualized care to reduce kidney and cardiovascular risk.
Diabetic Kidney Disease Treatment
Assessment and ongoing management of kidney complications related to diabetes, with monitoring intended to protect kidney function and slow progression where possible.
Proteinuria Evaluation
Clinical review plus urine and blood testing for protein in the urine to investigate possible causes and plan appropriate follow-up.
Kidney Infection Treatment
Assessment and treatment planning for kidney infections and recurrent urinary infections affecting the kidneys. Severe fever, vomiting, confusion or worsening pain needs urgent assessment.
Kidney Stone Evaluation
Medical assessment of recurrent stones and their effect on kidney function, with prevention guidance and referral for a procedure when clinically indicated.
Dialysis Patient Management
Pre-dialysis assessment and nephrology follow-up for patients receiving dialysis at another facility, including review of symptoms, medicines, tests and complications. FZ does not perform dialysis sessions.
Electrolyte Disorders Treatment
Assessment and management of sodium, potassium, calcium and other electrolyte disturbances related to kidney disease or other medical conditions. Severe abnormalities may require urgent hospital care.

Evaluation using clinical assessment and indicated blood tests, urine tests, blood-pressure monitoring and imaging. Results are interpreted together rather than used as a diagnosis on their own.
Kidney Health Screening
Risk-based screening for people with diabetes, hypertension, a family history of kidney disease or other risk factors. Screening can support early detection but cannot guarantee prevention.

Questions & answers
Common kidney-care questions.
Clear service boundaries and practical guidance before a Nephrology appointment.
Ask the Nephrology teamWhen should I see a nephrologist?
Request a nephrology assessment for known kidney disease, persistently raised creatinine, protein in the urine, difficult-to-control high blood pressure, recurrent kidney stones or diabetes affecting kidney function. A single abnormal result needs clinical interpretation.
Does Dr. Novara Fatima treat chronic kidney disease?
Yes. Dr. Novara Fatima evaluates and manages chronic kidney disease through monitoring, medicine review and individualized guidance intended to slow progression where clinically possible and manage complications. A particular result cannot be guaranteed.
Can kidney disease be detected early?
Often, yes. Blood tests, urine analysis, blood-pressure monitoring and kidney imaging when indicated may identify early changes. A clinician should interpret the findings in the context of symptoms, history and repeat testing where needed.
Does FZ International Hospital offer laboratory and diagnostic facilities?
Yes. FZ provides in-house laboratory investigations, ultrasound and related diagnostic services. Reception confirms current availability, clinician instructions and preparation requirements before the visit.
Do I need a referral to see a nephrologist?
No routine referral is required to request an appointment at FZ. Patients can contact reception directly for kidney-related concerns; bring relevant reports and a current medicines list. Urgent symptoms should not wait for a routine booking.
Does FZ International Hospital offer kidney transplantation?
No. FZ International Hospital does not perform kidney-transplant surgery. Pre-transplant consultation and post-transplant nephrology follow-up may be provided in coordination with the patient's transplant centre; eligibility, surgery and transplant-centre protocols remain with that centre.
Is dialysis performed at FZ International Hospital?
No. FZ International Hospital does not perform dialysis sessions. The Nephrology service may provide pre-dialysis assessment and follow-up for patients receiving dialysis at another facility, including review of symptoms, medicines, tests and complications.
