Getting to the clinic
The Kidney Health Clinic is in the Orchard area, with Dr Angeline Goh practising at Mount Elizabeth Hospital. The most convenient way to arrive by public transport is the MRT: Orchard station (NS22 on the North-South Line and TE14 on the Thomson-East Coast Line) is within walking distance, with sheltered links through the Orchard malls towards Mount Elizabeth on Mount Elizabeth Road. From the station the walk takes you up towards the medical centre.
Buses serving Orchard Road and the surrounding roads stop nearby, and the hospital is easy to reach by taxi or ride-hailing, with a sheltered drop-off and a paid visitor car park. As kidney and transplant follow-up often involves repeat visits, it is worth noting the most direct route and allowing extra time during weekday peak hours and busy weekend periods in the Orchard area.
What kidney transplant care covers
Nephrology is the medical specialty dealing with the kidneys, and this practice subspecialises in kidney transplantation alongside general kidney care. A kidney transplant places a healthy kidney, from a living or deceased donor, into a person whose own kidneys have failed, offering an alternative to long-term dialysis. Transplant care spans the whole journey: assessing whether a transplant is suitable, evaluating potential living donors, preparing for the operation and providing long-term medical follow-up afterwards.
After a transplant, careful management of anti-rejection medication is essential to protect the new kidney while balancing side effects and infection risk. This practice also manages related kidney conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus and urinary tract infections, all of which affect kidney health. Care therefore covers both the specialised needs of transplant patients and the broader management of conditions that influence the kidneys.
What to expect at a consultation
A first consultation usually begins with a discussion of your symptoms, medical history and any existing kidney problems, diabetes or blood pressure issues. The nephrologist will examine you, including blood pressure and fluid status, and review previous blood and urine results and any imaging or transplant records you bring.
For transplant assessment, the evaluation is more detailed and may involve a series of tests for both the recipient and any potential living donor. For general kidney concerns, investigations such as blood tests, urine tests and imaging may be arranged. The doctor will then explain the findings and outline a plan, whether that involves transplant work-up, medication or ongoing monitoring, and you will have the chance to ask questions.
Preparing for your appointment
To help the consultation be productive, bring the following:
- Photo identification and any insurance details.
- A referral letter from your GP, polyclinic or hospital, if you have one.
- Recent kidney-related blood and urine results, and any imaging or transplant-related reports.
- A full list of medications and supplements, including any anti-rejection medication if you have had a transplant.
- A written list of symptoms and questions, and recent home blood-pressure readings if you record them.
If a living-donor transplant is being considered, it helps to bring along the potential donor’s relevant medical information where available.
After your consultation and follow-up
Kidney and transplant care are long-term, so follow-up visits are used to monitor kidney function, blood pressure and, after a transplant, the health of the new kidney and the medication regimen. Test results are reviewed at these visits, and reports can be shared with your GP and other specialists for coordinated care. Transplant follow-up is typically lifelong, with the interval between visits adjusted over time.
Seek prompt medical attention if you develop fever, reduced urine output, marked swelling or other concerning symptoms, particularly after a transplant when infection and rejection are important considerations. You are entitled to seek a second opinion about your treatment or transplant suitability if you wish.
Booking, referrals and fees
Private specialists can usually be seen without a referral, though a GP or polyclinic referral may help if you are seeking subsidised care in the public system. In Singapore, MediSave, MediShield Life and Integrated Shield Plans may apply to eligible procedures and treatments within set limits, while outpatient consultations are generally paid out of pocket. Confirm the expected fees and what your insurance or MediSave may cover directly with the clinic.
Common questions
Who can be a living kidney donor?
Potential living donors undergo careful medical and compatibility assessment to ensure donation is safe for them and suitable for the recipient. A nephrologist coordinates this evaluation.
Is a transplant better than dialysis?
A transplant can offer an alternative to long-term dialysis for suitable patients, but suitability depends on individual factors. The nephrologist will discuss the options relevant to your situation.
What does anti-rejection medication do?
Anti-rejection medication helps prevent the body from rejecting a transplanted kidney. It needs careful, ongoing management to balance protecting the kidney against side effects and infection risk.
How often are follow-up visits after a transplant?
Follow-up is typically frequent in the early period after a transplant and then spaced out over time, continuing long-term. Your nephrologist will set a schedule based on how the kidney is doing.
