What Our Nephrologists Review
Kidney disease requires precise pathology interpretation and careful decisions about immunosuppression, dialysis timing, and transplant eligibility. Our review confirms whether the proposed approach aligns with current KDIGO guidelines.
Kidney Biopsy Review
Re-evaluation of renal biopsy pathology, confirming the diagnosis of glomerulonephritis, IgA nephropathy, FSGS, or other primary kidney diseases.
Lab & Renal Function Analysis
Expert review of GFR trajectory, urinalysis, proteinuria quantification, and electrolyte panels to assess disease severity and rate of progression.
Treatment Protocol
Assessment of your immunosuppressive regimen, blood pressure management, or CKD retardation strategy against KDIGO and ASN clinical guidelines.
Imaging Review
Review of renal ultrasound and CT urography findings to verify structural diagnosis and guide management planning.
Dialysis & Transplant Planning
Independent assessment of dialysis modality selection and timing, vascular access planning, and transplant eligibility evaluation.
Multidisciplinary Input
For complex cases, your case draws on input from interventional nephrology, transplant nephrology, and renal pathology.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a nephrology second opinion from the U.S. work?
expand_more
Upload your kidney biopsy pathology, renal function labs, urine studies, imaging, and current treatment plan. A U.S. board-certified nephrologist reviews all materials and delivers a written second opinion within 14 days. For complex cases, a live video consultation is also available.
Can a U.S. nephrologist assess my kidney biopsy remotely?
expand_more
Yes. Renal biopsy pathology reports (including light microscopy, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy findings) can be reviewed remotely. Expert re-review of glomerular disease pathology is well-established in nephrology consultation practice.
What if the U.S. specialist recommends a different immunosuppressive regimen?
expand_more
Glomerular disease treatment protocols have evolved, and there are multiple guideline-supported approaches for conditions like IgA nephropathy, FSGS, and lupus nephritis. A different recommendation gives you a documented, evidence-based alternative to discuss with your nephrologist in India.
Which kidney conditions do you cover?
expand_more
We cover the full range of nephrology including IgA nephropathy, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), membranous nephropathy, lupus nephritis, ANCA-associated vasculitis, diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive kidney disease, polycystic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease (all stages), dialysis planning, and transplant evaluation.
How long does the review take?
expand_more
Most nephrology second opinions are delivered within 14 days of receiving complete records. You will be notified if additional lab results or biopsy materials are needed before review begins.
