Nephrology

Treating and managing kidney disease and conditions

Nephrologists diagnose and treat kidney conditions. Part of the urinary system, your kidneys are bean-shaped organs that filter your blood and remove waste, excess water and electrolytes through urination.

Board-certified and fellowship-trained, District Medical Group nephrologists diagnose, treat and manage many kidney disorders, including:

Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
High blood pressure/hypertension, a leading cause of kidney disease
Inherited kidney diseases
Kidney failure, including dialysis for end-stage renal disease

Kidney stones
Urinary tract infections (UTI)
Urine abnormalities, such as blood and protein in the urine

Working closely with dietitians and other specialty physicians such as urologists, surgeons and radiologists, we develop a comprehensive treatment plan to support the patient’s lifestyle objectives and the best possible outcome.
