With state-of-the-art ICU facilities and a patient-centred approach, they focus on early diagnosis, multi-organ monitoring, and specialized critical care interventions, ensuring timely stabilization and improved recovery outcomes in complex cases.
Understanding Liver & Kidney Disorders
The liver and kidneys play a vital role in detoxification, metabolism, fluid balance, and overall body function. Severe liver or kidney dysfunction can rapidly become life-threatening and often requires intensive monitoring and advanced critical care support.
- Persistent fatigue and weakness
- Yellowing of eyes or skin (jaundice)
- Swelling of the abdomen or legs
- Reduced or absent urine output
- Confusion or altered consciousness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Breathlessness
- Bleeding tendencies
Major Liver & Kidney Conditions Treated
Liver and kidney disorders range from chronic progressive diseases to sudden, life-threatening organ failures that can severely affect metabolism, consciousness, fluid balance, and overall survival. At our center, we manage a broad spectrum of liver and kidney conditions, including cirrhosis, hepatic encephalopathy, acute and chronic kidney failure, and infection- or sepsis-related organ dysfunction. Many of these conditions require continuous monitoring and advanced organ support such as dialysis, CRRT, or ECMO in critically ill patients. With comprehensive ICU care and a multidisciplinary treatment approach, we focus on early stabilization, prevention of complications, and coordinated recovery planning to improve both short- and long-term outcomes.
Understanding Cirrhosis of Liver
Cirrhosis is a chronic liver condition where healthy liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue, leading to progressive liver failure.
- Jaundice
- Abdominal swelling (ascites)
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- Weight loss and weakness
- Confusion due to toxin buildup
Understanding Hepatic Encephalopathy
Hepatic encephalopathy occurs when liver failure leads to the accumulation of toxins affecting brain function.
- Confusion or drowsiness
- Altered behavior
- Poor concentration
- Reduced consciousness
- Coma in severe cases
Understanding Kidney Failure & Dialysis
Kidney failure occurs when the kidneys are unable to filter waste and excess fluids from the body.
- Severe reduction in urine output
- Fluid overload
- Electrolyte imbalance
- Uremic symptoms
- Severe metabolic acidosis
- Acute or chronic kidney failure
Dialysis helps remove waste products and maintain fluid balance when the kidneys fail.
Understanding CRRT (Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy)
CRRT is a specialized form of dialysis used in critically ill ICU patients who cannot tolerate regular dialysis.
- Gentle and continuous toxin removal
- Better blood pressure stability
- Ideal for patients with shock or multi-organ failure
- Precise fluid balance control
Understanding ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation)
ECMO may be required when severe liver or kidney failure is associated with cardiac or respiratory collapse.
- Severe respiratory failure
- Advanced cardiac failure
- Severe sepsis with organ collapse
- Severe multi-organ failure with associated heart or lung dysfunction
ECMO provides time for organ recovery while maintaining oxygenation and circulation.
Critical & Life-Threatening Liver & Kidney Conditions
Severe liver and kidney conditions can progress rapidly to metabolic instability, toxin accumulation, fluid imbalance, and multi-organ dysfunction requiring intensive monitoring and advanced organ support.
- Acute liver failure
- Decompensated cirrhosis
- Hepatic encephalopathy
- Acute kidney injury
- Chronic kidney disease complications
- Sepsis-related organ failure
- Multi-organ dysfunction syndrome
Treatment & Organ Support Options
Treatment plans are individualized based on the severity of organ dysfunction. Our approach includes medical stabilization, organ support therapies, prevention of complications, and structured recovery planning under continuous ICU supervision.
-
Liver Failure Management
-
Medical therapy for cirrhosis, ascites, bleeding, and encephalopathy.
-
Dialysis Services
-
Intermittent and emergency dialysis for kidney failure.
-
CRRT for Critical Patients
-
Continuous renal support for unstable ICU patients.
-
ECMO Support
-
Advanced life support for severe cardiac or respiratory failure.
-
Sepsis & Shock Management

Liver and kidney failure may develop due to chronic disease, metabolic disorders, infections, toxin exposure, or cardiovascular instability. Early detection of risk factors helps prevent progression to multi-organ failure.
- Alcohol use
- Poor nutrition
- Long-term medication use
- Viral hepatitis
- Viral hepatitis
- Diabetes and hypertension
- Autoimmune diseases
- Severe infections and sepsis
- Cardiac dysfunction
