Services we provide
Conditions seen by a nephrologist may include:
- acute renal failure — the sudden loss of kidney function
- chronic, or long term, renal failure — gradual worsening of kidney function
- haematuria — blood loss in the urine
- proteinuria — protein loss in the urine
- kidney stones
- chronic or frequent urinary tract infections
- hypertension — that has not responded to antihypertensive therapy.
Many kidney disorders may be treated with medications. If kidney function starts to fail and the condition becomes severe, dialysis (using a machine to filter the blood) or a transplant may be required.
Renal services are available:
- 7am to 11:30pm Monday, Wednesday and Friday
- 7am to 7:30pm Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
