• Nephrology: Kidney Disease Management

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.
