慢性肾脏疾病（肾衰竭）专科门诊的多学科专家团队为慢性肾脏疾病或糖尿病肾病患者提供专业的诊断和个性化治疗方案。
What is chronic kidney disease?
Chronic kidney disease happens when the kidneys are damaged and can't filter waste and extra fluid from the blood as well as they should. As kidney function gets worse, waste and fluid can build up in the body. Over time, it can lead to heart disease and kidney failure.
Diabetes is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease.
CKD is diagnosed with blood and urine tests.
Is this clinic right for me?
Your primary healthcare professional or kidney doctor may refer you to the Chronic Kidney Disease Clinic. You also may schedule an appointment without a referral.
The specialized care offered at this clinic may help if you:
- Have blood or urine tests that show reduced kidney function.
- Have diabetes or high blood pressure that is affecting your kidneys.
- Have protein or blood in your urine.
- Have kidney disease that is getting worse or causing other health conditions.
- Want help planning for kidney transplant or dialysis.
What to expect
At your first visit, you meet with a kidney specialist who reviews your health history, symptoms and recent test results. You may have tests to determine how severe your kidney disease is.
Tests may include:
If you have kidney damage from diabetes, you may see a kidney doctor who specializes in diabetic nephropathy.
协调护理
肾病医生（肾病学家）会与其他专科医生（包括心脏科医生、内分泌科医生、药剂师、护士、教育工作者和营养师）密切合作，为您提供所需护理。医护团队成员会与您合作，以减缓肾脏疾病的进展，并实现您的治疗目标。团队成员会为您进行协调安排，确保就诊高效且完整。可能会将您转诊至糖尿病肾病专科门诊团队。
尽管做出这些努力，您的肾脏疾病仍可能加重。在需要进行血液透析或肾脏移植之前，您必须获得高质量的医疗护理。这有助于确保您在接受透析或移植时获得最佳治疗效果。
发展到终末期肾病之前，您的治疗重点都是接受教育以及准备进行透析或肾移植。您将与透析教育人员交谈，会见社会服务专员，由他们回答您关于保险范围或其他事务的任何疑问。
在妙佑医疗国际透析
慢性肾病患者可选择综合性的肾脏替代疗法（透析）。佛罗里达州院区、明尼苏达州院区和妙佑区域医疗系统的几个社区都可提供透析服务。妙佑医疗国际提供透析服务的时间已超过 65 年。
透析服务包括：

当您在妙佑医疗国际接受透析治疗时，会由经过专门训练的护士管理您的治疗。如果您患有终末期肾病，您可能会在门诊透析中心接受治疗，该中心提供中心内和家庭透析培训。
Advanced treatment for kidney failure
If kidney failure occurs, your care team works closely with you to choose the treatment that is right for you. Advanced treatment options include:
- Kidney transplant.
- Dialysis.
Kidney specialists guide you through the transplant evaluation process and coordinate your care with Mayo Clinic's Kidney Transplant Program.
If you need dialysis, dialysis nurses and social workers work with you to explain your options and help plan your care. Home dialysis may be an option for some people.
Dialysis services are available at Mayo Clinic's campuses in Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System locations in southern Minnesota and western Wisconsin. In Arizona, Mayo Clinic works closely with local dialysis providers to support your dialysis care.
