Nephrology

Your kidneys play a vital role in filtering your blood, managing blood pressure, and maintaining the chemical balance your body needs to function. When kidney health is compromised, it can affect nearly every other organ system. At Wayne County Hospital, our nephrology services focus on the expert diagnosis and management of kidney diseases and related conditions. Our goal is to provide specialized care that preserves kidney function and enhances your overall health.

Kidney conditions are often linked to other health factors like diabetes and hypertension. Our team takes a collaborative approach, working with you and your primary care providers to manage these complexities and slow the progression of kidney disease.

Our nephrology specialists manage a wide spectrum of kidney-related health concerns, including:

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Ongoing management to preserve function and prevent further damage.
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Specializing in difficult-to-treat or secondary hypertension related to kidney issues.
Kidney Stones: Preventive care and metabolic evaluations to reduce the risk of recurring stones.
Electrolyte Imbalances: Managing abnormal levels of sodium, potassium, calcium, or magnesium.
Glomerular Disorders: Treatment for conditions that affect the kidney’s filtering units.
End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD): Comprehensive support and preparation for advanced treatment options.
