Understanding Nephrology
Learn about the medical specialty dedicated to your kidney health.
What Is Nephrology?
Nephrology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the kidneys — their function, diseases, and treatments. Your kidneys are vital organs that filter waste and excess fluids from your blood, regulate blood pressure, produce hormones, and maintain the body's chemical balance.
When Should You See a Nephrologist?
Your primary care doctor may refer you to a nephrologist if you have signs of kidney disease, persistent high blood pressure, recurring kidney stones, blood or protein in your urine, or conditions like diabetes that put your kidneys at risk.
Conditions We Treat
Our nephrology team manages chronic kidney disease (CKD), acute kidney injury, kidney stones, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease (PKD), electrolyte imbalances, hypertension related to kidney disease, and provides pre- and post-transplant care.
