Kidney failure means the kidneys are working at a very low level. Care depends on your stage, symptoms and reports. Dr. Abhishek Gupta and the RIIMS team focus on protecting remaining function, managing symptoms and quality of life, and preparing you for the right decisions — coordinating closely with nephrologists for dialysis or advanced medical care when needed. We stay honest: we never promise cure, or that dialysis can always be avoided or stopped.
When to see a kidney doctor
Very low eGFR, breathlessness, severe swelling, drowsiness or a big fall in urine need urgent medical care. For ongoing kidney failure, early, coordinated care planning gives the best quality of life.
