Technology & Infrastructure

Our commitment to providing top-notch patient care, especially children, is seamlessly woven into the fabric of our advanced technological infrastructure. Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre boasts a comprehensive array of state-of-the-art medical infrastructure.

Our clinic addresses bedwetting concerns in children, offering uroflowmetry and invasive urodynamic studies for assessing bladder dysfunction.
We perform ultrasound-guided kidney biopsy and comprehensive renal histopathology (light microscopy, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy) for precise diagnosis of kidney diseases in children.

With an in-house clinical genetics unit, we provide genetic testing for genetically mediated kidney diseases.
Our kidney transplantation program for children with end-stage kidney disease is supported by an in-house dedicated HLA lab for essential immunological testing.
Over the years, we have successfully diagnosed and managed a range of common and rare kidney diseases in children.
To ensure access to critical medications like Eculizumab for rare diseases such as atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, our hospital facilitates the procurement process.
We stay updated on the latest developments in Pediatric Nephrology through regular academic activities, seminars, and continuous education.
Our commitment to education is evident in our successful DNB Pediatrics course, where we mentor young doctors in Pediatrics and Pediatric Nephrology.
