Our specialists evaluate, manage and treat a wide range of conditions, medical complications and types of patients, including the following:
Acute Kidney Injury: These conditions happen quickly and include electrolyte and acid-base distrubances. Kidney function is rapidly lost. Often these patients are found in the hospital setting.
Glomerular Disease: Rare conditions that affect how the kidney filters blood and may be associated with proteinuria (protein in the urine) or hematuria (blood in the urine).
Chronic Kidney Disease: Conditions that are present for long periods of time.
End Stage Kidney Disease: When the kidney fails, there are options for treatment including replacement of kidney function.
High Blood Pressure (Advanced Hypertension): UW Health offers a comprehensive program for patients with hypertension. Services are provided by a multidisciplinary team of hypertension physician-experts that include Cardiologists, Preventive Cardiologists and Nephrologists, with Endocrinology and Vascular Surgery consultants.
