About this specialty
Nephrology covers acute and chronic kidney failure, glomerular disease, disorders of electrolytes, minerals and acid-base balance, resistant hypertension and kidney stones, as well as the care of dialysis patients and the follow-up of kidney transplant recipients.
When to start dialysis, how to adjust drugs cleared by the kidney, and how fast function is declining are detailed decisions that shape quality of life. Our consultants review your serial laboratory results and current medications, and suggest adjustments that may delay dialysis or improve blood pressure control.
