About Department
Urology Clinic is an integral part of the Polyclinic. The non-surgical process of treating the problem of kidney stones by Lithotripsy is now done at Vivekananda Polyclinic at affordable cost for the common people in and around Lucknow. Nephrology Clinic and Dialysis Unit are well equipped with ultra modern equipment to treat renal impairments. The Department is honoured to be the first in the entire state of U.P. to start a full fledged Andrology unit (dealing with both medical & surgical aspects of male sexual dysfunction).
The newly constructed 13-bedded Ward, including a 7-bedded air-conditioned Ward and a 2-bedded Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) room having ambulatory peritoneal dialysis facility has been commissioned. The Dialysis Unit is equipped with twelve state-of-art Haemodialysis machines. The unit also has facilities of cardiac monitor, defibrillator and sophisticated water treatment plant (Reverse osmosis).
There is a special operation theatre for procedures. This unit has a provision for undertaking home dialysis (continuous peritoneal dialysis) for ambulatory patients. Very critically ill patients can be put on dialysis in the wards or in ICU unit without shifting them to the dialysis unit. The Unit is headed by competent nephrologists and trained paramedical staff.
