Care and Treatment of Kidney Disorders

Conditions Treated

The Nephrology Clinic specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney disorders such as:

Amyloidosis

A disease characterized by an abnormal build up of proteins (called amyloids) in various organs in the body. 

Diabetic kidney disorder

Kidney disease that results from diabetes is the number one cause of kidney failure; almost a third of people with diabetes develop diabetic nephropathy because of other long-standing medical conditions that contribute to kidney disease.

Electrolyte disorders

A disorder resulting in an imbalance of minerals in the body, potentially leading to damage to vital body systems, such as the muscles and brain.

Glomerulonephritis

A type of kidney disease that involves the glomeruli, very small, important structures in the kidneys that supply blood flow to the small units in the kidneys that filter urine.

Hypertension (chronic hypertension)

Also referred to as high blood pressure, a condition in which the arteries have persistently elevated blood pressure which can lead to damaged organs, as well as several illnesses, such as renal failure (kidney failure), aneurysm, heart failure, stroke, or heart attack.

Kidney disease

A condition with a wide range of causes in which the kidneys are damaged and unable to fully remove waste and excess fluid from the body. Left untreated, kidney disease can progress to kidney failure.

Kidney failure

Also known as renal failure, a medical condition in which the kidneys fail to adequately filter waste products from the blood.

Lupus nephritis

An inflammation of the kidney caused by systemic lupus erythematosus, a disease of the immune system.

A syndrome in which the kidney filters insufficiently remove waste and excess fluids from the blood before sending them to the bladder as urine.

Pyelonephritis

Inflammation of the substance of the kidney as a result of bacterial infection.

Polycystic kidney disorder

A genetic disorder in which clusters of cysts develop primarily within the kidneys, leading to high blood pressure and kidney failure.
