nephrology (foam sclerotherapy)

Foam sclerotherapy in nephrology is a minimally invasive treatment used to manage abnormal or enlarged veins, often in conditions like renal vein issues. The procedure involves injecting a special foam solution into the problematic vein, which irritates the lining and causes the vein to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body. This effectively reduces abnormal blood flow or congestion, improving kidney function or alleviating symptoms. It’s a precise technique that offers an alternative to more invasive surgeries, with benefits including fewer complications and quicker recovery times.
