About The Kidney Clinic
Caring for your kidneys often means looking at your health as a whole. At The Kidney
Clinic in Singapore, you receive comprehensive nephrology care led by Dr Ho Chee Khun, a consultant
renal physician trained in renal medicine and internal medicine. This combined expertise allows kidney
conditions to be treated alongside related medical issues that commonly affect kidney health.
Our services cover chronic kidney disease, kidney inflammation and recurrent
infections, as well as dialysis care, critical care nephrology support and post-transplant follow-up.
Conditions closely linked to kidney health, such as hypertension, diabetes and vascular disease, are
also managed through a coordinated approach that supports continuity of care.
Common Kidney Conditions and Diseases We Treat
Kidney conditions can present differently from person to person and may change over
time. Here, care is tailored to your diagnosis, symptoms and overall health needs. Conditions we
commonly manage include the following.
Blood in urine (Hematuria)
Treatment for blood in the urine depends on the underlying cause. Urinary tract
infections are often treated with antibiotics. In men, haematuria linked to an enlarged prostate may
be managed with medication or surgery. Kidney stones may require extracorporeal shock wave
lithotripsy, which breaks stones into smaller fragments so they can pass naturally.
Hypertension
Treatment for hypertension often begins with lifestyle changes such as maintaining
a healthy weight, reducing salt intake, staying physically active and managing stress. Dietary
adjustments may also support blood pressure control. When needed, medications such as diuretics or ACE
inhibitors may be prescribed.
Kidney infection
Symptoms of kidney infections are typically treated with antibiotics. Supportive
measures such as staying well hydrated, using heat therapy for discomfort and taking pain relief may
help ease symptoms. In more severe or recurrent cases, further medical treatment or surgery may be
advised.
Urinary tract infection
Antibiotics are the first-line treatment for urinary tract infections.
Additionally, drinking plenty of water, staying away from alcohol, coffee and soda, and using heating
pads can help relieve symptoms. For severe cases, intravenous antibiotics may be advised.
Protein in urine Singapore
Protein in the urine, also known as proteinuria, may indicate kidney damage.
Management often includes dietary changes, medication and lifestyle adjustments. Patients with
diabetes or high blood pressure are advised to undergo regular urine testing to support early
detection.
Kidney Failure
Kidney failure occurs when one or both kidneys are no longer able to function
properly. It can cause problems in filtering waste from the blood, causing toxins to accumulate in the
body. Symptoms may include persistent fatigue, swelling in the hands or ankles, nausea, muscle cramps,
changes in urination, itchy skin and shortness of breath.
Don't wait for symptoms to
worsen.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common symptoms of kidney problems?
In the early stages, kidney disease may not cause
noticeable symptoms. As kidney function declines, you may notice swelling in the hands, feet or face,
changes in urination, ongoing fatigue, nausea or pain in the back or flank area. Regular screening is
important, as symptoms often appear later.
When should I see a kidney specialist?
You may wish to see a kidney specialist if you have
persistent high blood pressure, diabetes, abnormal blood or urine test results or a family history of
kidney disease. Referral is also recommended if you experience symptoms suggestive of kidney problems.
Can kidney disease be prevented?
Some forms of kidney disease, particularly those linked to diabetes and high blood
pressure, can be prevented or slowed with early management. Maintaining good hydration, controlling
blood sugar and blood pressure, following a balanced diet, avoiding prolonged use of painkillers and
attending regular check-ups all play an important role.
