Write a ReviewMy son developed acute kidney injury during a severe infection. His urine output had dropped, and we were terrified. Dr Sai Padma Charan at Ankura Hospital evaluated him quickly and started appropriate management immediately. He monitored fluid and electrolyte balance closely and avoided dialysis through careful medical management. Dr M Sai Padma Charan's clinical precision in managing AKI in children is outstanding. We are very relieved and grateful.
My 5-year-old daughter was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, and we were completely lost. We had never heard of the condition before and didn't know where to go. A doctor friend suggested we consult Dr Sai Padma Charan at Ankura Hospital, Renigunta Road. From the very first consultation, Dr M Sai Padma Charan explained the condition clearly in Telugu — what nephrotic syndrome is, why it happens, and how it is managed. He started a structured treatment plan and monitored her closely. The swelling reduced significantly within weeks. He is truly one of the best paediatric nephrologists in Tirupati, and we are grateful for his expertise and patience.
My nephew required haemodialysis after kidney failure. We were worried about whether such care was available in Tirupati. Dr Sai Padma Charan at Ankura Hospital managed the dialysis access and haemodialysis sessions professionally. His expertise in paediatric renal replacement therapy is exceptional and rare to find in Tirupati.
My daughter has been living with CKD since she was a toddler. Finding a dedicated paediatric nephrologist in Tirupati was very difficult until we found Dr Sai Padma Charan. He provides very structured long-term monitoring and adjusts treatment carefully at every visit. His fellowship training from Mehta Multispecialty Hospitals reflects in the quality of his evaluation. We feel confident that our daughter's kidney health is being managed properly.
We booked a consultation with Dr M Sai Padma Charan through HexaHealth for my son's recurrent UTI evaluation. The appointment at Ankura Hospital, Renigunta Road, was confirmed quickly. Dr Sai Padma Charan conducted a thorough evaluation and explained the underlying causes clearly. Very smooth and professional experience from start to finish.
