Conditions We Treat
The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste products and excess fluids from the blood. When they become damaged, they can no longer perform these functions effectively, leading to a variety of health problems. Our nephrologists specialize in diagnosing and treating a broad spectrum of kidney conditions, including:
  • Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): This is a gradual decline in kidney function that can progress over time. CKD can be caused by various factors, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain medications.
  • Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): This is a sudden and rapid decline in kidney function that can occur due to illness, infection, or injury.
  • Glomerulonephritis: This is an inflammation of the tiny filters within the kidneys that can damage their ability to function properly.
  • Pyelonephritis: This is a kidney infection that can be caused by bacteria traveling from the bladder.
  • Kidney Stones: These are hard deposits of minerals that form in the kidneys and can cause pain and other complications.
  • Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD): This is a genetic condition that causes the development of cysts in the kidneys.
  • Diabetic Nephropathy: This is a complication of diabetes that damages the kidneys.
  • Hypertension-induced Nephropathy: This is high blood pressure that damages the kidneys over time.

Treatment Options We Offer

Our nephrology department offers a wide range of treatment options depending on the type and severity of your kidney condition. These may include:

Lifestyle Modifications

We may recommend lifestyle changes, such as smoking cessation, weight management, and exercise, to improve your overall health and kidney function.

Medications

We may prescribe medications to manage blood pressure, control blood sugar levels, or reduce inflammation in the kidneys.

Dietary Management

A registered dietitian will work with you to develop a personalized dietary plan that supports your kidney health.

Dialysis

This is a life-saving treatment that removes waste products and excess fluids from the blood when the kidneys are no longer functioning properly. We offer both hemodialysis (performed in a hospital setting) and peritoneal dialysis (performed at home).

Kidney Transplant

In some cases, a kidney transplant may be the best option for restoring kidney function. Our experienced team can guide you through the transplant process and provide comprehensive
post-transplant care.
