Chronic Kidney Disease Clinic

The Chronic Kidney Disease Clinic aims to improve the care of patients with kidney disorders through:

• Detecting chronic kidney disease early
• Intervening to slow the progression of kidney disease
• Preventing complications of uremia, a toxic condition associated with chronic kidney malfunction
• Managing coexisting disease
• Preparing for dialysis or kidney transplantation

The staff of the Chronic Kidney Disease Clinic take a standardized approach to care to help people prepare for dialysis or kidney transplantation, if those treatments become necessary.

A team of providers, including a physician, advanced registered nurse practitioners and dietitians, share the responsibility of helping patients meet treatment goals. Team members work together to make patient visits efficient and complete. Other specialists, such as vascular surgeons or transplant doctors, are consulted as needed.
