Nephrology

The main function of the kidneys is to remove wastes and excess water from the body. When your kidneys suffer disease, early treatment can prevent more serious complications, including kidney failure.

Early warning signs of kidney problems include:

  • Loss of appetite
  • Itching (pruritus) and dry skin
  • Nausea
  • Weight loss without trying to lose weight
  • Headaches
  • General ill feeling and fatigue

According to the National Kidney Foundation, 26 million American adults have chronic kidney disease, a gradual loss of kidney function over time. High blood pressure (hypertension) causes 30% of all cases of end-stage kidney disease. Only diabetes leads to more cases of kidney failure. If you think you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above please make an appointment with your doctor.
