Nephrology

Nephrology is the care of the kidneys. Healthy kidneys clean the blood, balance salts and water, and help control blood pressure. Kidney disease often causes no symptoms early on, so regular checks matter, especially if you have diabetes or high blood pressure.

Conditions we treat

• Chronic kidney disease and reduced kidney function
• Diabetic kidney disease and kidney damage from high blood pressure
• Protein or blood in the urine, and swelling of the face or feet
• Nephrotic syndrome and glomerular diseases
• Sudden kidney injury
• Kidney stones and repeated urine infections, with referral where needed
• Salt and mineral imbalances in the blood

How we help

• Review of kidney function tests (creatinine, urea, eGFR) and urine reports
• Blood pressure and diabetes control to protect your kidneys
• Diet guidance for kidney patients
• Dialysis care and advice when the kidneys can no longer do their work

When to see a nephrologist

Book a visit if your reports show abnormal kidney values, you have foamy or bloody urine, persistent swelling, or you have diabetes or high blood pressure and have never had your kidneys checked.
