Burn Nephrology Services
Kidney Function Monitoring
Severe burns can affect kidney function. Regular assessment of kidney function, urine output and related clinical parameters helps the medical team identify kidney complications and respond promptly.
Fluid & Electrolyte Management
Careful fluid and electrolyte management is important during burn recovery. Our nephrology team works with the burn and critical care teams to help maintain appropriate fluid and electrolyte balance.
Acute Kidney Injury Care
Patients with severe burns may develop acute kidney injury. Early recognition, careful monitoring and appropriate medical management are important to support kidney function and overall recovery.
Dialysis Support
When kidney function becomes severely impaired, renal replacement therapy such as dialysis may be required. The nephrology team evaluates the patient and coordinates renal support when clinically indicated.

Call Nephrology Team
Why is nephrology important for burn patients?
Serious burn injuries can cause major changes in fluid balance and may affect kidney function. Nephrology support can help monitor kidney health, fluid status and electrolytes and coordinate treatment when kidney complications develop.
Can severe burns cause kidney problems?
Severe burns can be associated with complications that affect kidney function. Factors such as significant fluid loss, physiological stress and other complications may contribute to kidney injury. Patients with serious burns therefore require appropriate monitoring.
What is acute kidney injury in burn patients?
Acute kidney injury refers to a sudden reduction in kidney function. In patients with severe burns, it may occur as part of the complications associated with the injury. Early recognition and appropriate management are important to support recovery.
Why is fluid balance important after a burn?
Significant burns can cause substantial fluid shifts and losses. Appropriate fluid management is important during initial treatment and recovery. The burn, critical care and nephrology teams may work together to monitor fluid status and kidney function.
When might a burn patient need dialysis?
Dialysis may be considered when kidney function becomes severely impaired and the kidneys cannot adequately manage waste products, fluid or electrolyte balance. The nephrology team evaluates each patient's condition before recommending renal replacement therapy.
How are electrolytes monitored in burn patients?
Electrolytes are monitored using clinical assessment and appropriate blood tests. Results are reviewed along with fluid balance, urine output and overall clinical status to guide treatment when necessary.
Who manages kidney complications during burn treatment?
Kidney complications are managed through a multidisciplinary approach. The nephrologist works alongside burn specialists, critical care doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals to coordinate appropriate treatment.
