Advanced Center Of Kidney & Urology

Overview

Advanced Center of Kidney & Urology, known in short as ACKU, is a superspeciality centre for kidney and urology care in Dhaka. It works as the dedicated urology centre of Dhaka Central International Medical College & Hospital. The centre is located at 2/1 Ring Road, Dhaka-1207, in the Shyamoli area.

This is not a general hospital for every illness. Care here is limited to kidney and urological problems, and patients with unrelated conditions need a general hospital or a doctor for that condition. The centre describes its approach as patient-first and humanitarian, with modern technology supporting the care provided.

Services and departments

Two departments carry the work of the centre. Nephrology looks after kidney disease itself, including the condition of the kidneys and how well they are working. Urology deals with stones, the bladder and the prostate, along with tumours of the kidney.

Patients attend for kidney stones, stones in the ureter and stones in the bladder. Kidney disease and kidney tumours are also treated here, together with bladder conditions and prostate problems. Because kidney and urinary problems often overlap, both departments are available in the same centre for connected problems.

Specialist consultations

Specialist consultations are held at the centre for kidney and urological problems. A patient may need advice on medicines, a plan for a stone, or follow-up over several visits. Keeping consultation and follow-up in one place helps when a problem needs review over time.

Patients should bring previous prescriptions and any reports related to the kidneys, bladder or prostate. Scan films should also be brought where available, as the size and position of a stone can change what can be done. A short note of when pain or urinary trouble started, and whether it comes and goes, also helps at the consultation.

Location and access

The centre stands on Ring Road in Shyamoli, at 2/1 Ring Road, Dhaka-1207. Ring Road is a main road in this part of Dhaka, and the Shyamoli name helps drivers locate the area. Patients should confirm chamber days and timing with the centre before travelling.

For appointments and information, patients can contact the centre directly. If pain becomes severe or urine cannot be passed at all, patients should seek urgent care first and not wait for a routine visit.
