Specialty kidney clinics

When it comes to kidney disease, your treatment should be based on you. That’s why our team of kidney specialists will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.  

Depending on the type and stage of your kidney disease, your doctor may refer you to one of our specialty clinics.

Specialty kidney clinics

Your doctor will determine if treatment at one of our seven specialty clinics can help you achieve your best kidney health.

• General nephrology clinic: Our nephrology team specializes in diagnosing and treating a wide variety of kidney conditions, from common to complex. No matter what type of specialized care you need, there’s an approach that’s right for you.

• Kidney stone clinic: Kidney stones are small, pebble-like objects made up of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys. Most of the time, kidney stones form when your urine becomes highly concentrated, causing the minerals to stick together. Treatments range from drinking more water or taking medications to minimally invasive surgical procedures. If you have kidney stones, we’ll start treatment right away, so you can get relief.

• Polycystic kidney disease clinic: This genetic condition happens when clusters of cysts form inside your kidneys. At our polycystic kidney disease clinic, you may talk about things like:
  • Screening for complications
  • Medications available to help manage symptoms
  • Things you can do to delay the onset or progression of kidney disease
  • Early evaluation and referral for a kidney transplant

• Weight management clinic: Extra weight means your kidneys have to work harder. But with compassionate care and the most advanced weight-loss programs available, you can help your kidneys recover.
  
  
• Hypertension clinic: By managing high blood pressure, you can prevent hypertension-related kidney disease. Through lifestyle changes or medication, our team will help you feel your best.
  
  
• Renal genetics clinic: Genetic counseling weighs the impact your family history has on your risk of developing certain types of kidney disease. At your appointment, a genetic counselor will review your medical and family history. They may discuss things like:
  • Your likelihood of a kidney disease diagnosis
  • Types of testing available
  • Pros and cons of genetic testing
  • Ways to reduce risk
  • Support resources

If you decide to have genetic testing, your genetic counselor will work with you to create a customized care plan. With your doctor, you can reduce your risk of developing kidney disease — or detect it sooner, when it’s easier to treat.

• Nephro-cardiology clinic: If you have kidney disease and a heart condition, your care team may refer you to our nephrocardiology clinic. See your heart and kidney care team in one convenient location.
