What is Nephrology?
Nephrology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the kidneys, their function, and any disorders or diseases that affect them. Our nephrology specialists are experts in treating a range of kidney conditions, including chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypertension (high blood pressure), kidney stones, and electrolyte imbalances. They also work closely with other specialists in our clinic to manage complications related to kidney function that may impact other areas of your health.
Conditions We Treat
Our nephrology services cover a broad spectrum of kidney-related conditions, including:
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Management and treatment of long-term kidney damage to prevent progression to kidney failure.
- Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): Rapid diagnosis and intervention for sudden loss of kidney function.
- Hypertension: Specialized care for patients whose high blood pressure may be linked to kidney dysfunction.
- Kidney Stones: Expert treatment plans to manage and prevent recurring kidney stones.
- Polycystic Kidney Disease: A genetic disorder that leads to the development of fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys.
- Electrolyte Imbalances: Monitoring and correction of sodium, potassium, and other essential electrolyte levels.
- Dialysis: For patients with advanced kidney disease, we provide dialysis management and referrals as needed.
