Department of Nephrology | BAMTH
Overview
The Department of Nephrology at BAMTH provides comprehensive care for patients with kidney disease — from early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) to end-stage renal failure requiring dialysis. Given the high prevalence of kidney disease in Pakistan, particularly secondary to uncontrolled diabetes and hypertension, this department serves a critical community health function.
