Institute of Renal Sciences
Renal diseases leading on to EKD (End Stage Kidney Disease) forcing people to be on dialysis or to go for renal transplantation are on the rise in the society. This is mainly because of lack of awareness about the importance of early diagnosis and management, especially in the form of life style modifications. These factors along with dependence on quackery put the resilience of the kidneys to test, resulting in irreversible damages. Avitis is committed to put a stop to it and has developed a Centre of Excellence to contribute towards this cause – Avitis Institute of Renal Sciences.
