Department of Nephrology
Specialized in: nephrology About the Department of Nephrology at Urology Clinic Wiener Platz Munich
The Department of Nephrology at the Urology Clinic Wiener Platz Munich offers the full range of medical services in its area of specialization. Experienced doctors at the medical facility provide comprehensive diagnosis and effective treatment of all kidney diseases using the very latest methods. The focus of the department's medical team is on patients with chronic kidney disease, arterial hypertension, glomerulonephritis, congenital kidney diseases, and diabetic nephropathy. Patients with kidney cancer are treated in cooperation with the Department of Urology. The specialists also have the necessary expertise and skills to prepare a patient for kidney transplant surgery and to care for the patient after surgery. The department's nephrology team does not provide dialysis but only offers advice on renal replacement therapy. If a patient needs such a treatment, he or she can undergo it at the University Hospital Rechts der Isar Munich, a partner of the department. The doctors make every effort to provide effective treatment, taking into account the individual needs and wishes of each patient. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Christoph Schmaderer.
Together with doctors from the Department of Urology, nephrologists perform diagnostic examinations for suspected kidney cancer. Oncopathology is quite common, and it is asymptomatic in its early stages. The very first step in the diagnostic process is an ultrasound scan. As part of the differential diagnosis, physicians also perform contrast-enhanced computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, as well as blood and urine laboratory tests. Confirmation of the diagnosis requires a biopsy followed by histologic examination of the material obtained to determine the type of the malignant neoplasm. The first-line treatment for kidney cancer is surgery. In cases of localized cancer, specialists remove the tumor along with part of the affected kidney. This is an organ-preserving surgery. If the cancer is in an advanced stage, the department's physicians perform a nephrectomy, which removes the kidney along with adjacent tissues and lymph nodes. This type of surgery reduces the risk of kidney cancer recurrence.
An important area of work for the department's medical team is the treatment of chronic kidney disease. This disease causes a gradual deterioration of kidney function, which disrupts the process of purifying the blood from metabolic products and toxins. There is no cure for chronic kidney failure. Therefore, when prescribing treatment, the department's doctors aim to slow down the pathological process and preserve the remaining kidney function. Treatment is based on drug therapy with various groups of medicines. Doctors take control of the underlying disease that has caused the kidney failure, such as arterial hypertension or diabetes mellitus. In addition, the patient is prescribed a diet with limited fluid, protein, and potassium. The second-line treatment is renal replacement therapy (dialysis), which is the removal of waste products and excess fluid from the body using an artificial filter.
The department's specialists also diagnose and treat glomerulonephritis, congenital kidney diseases in adults (with a special focus on the treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease), urolithiasis, and kidney cysts. To treat glomerulonephritis, doctors prescribe drug therapy and diet therapy with the exclusion of salty, fatty, fried, and spicy foods from the diet. If a patient has kidney cysts, the department's specialists perform minimally traumatic surgical procedures to remove them. Depending on the size of the kidney stones, endoscopic removal or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy may be performed.

- Diagnostics and treatment of kidney cancer
