Comprehensive care for kidney health

Nephrology focuses on the kidneys and urinary system—your body’s natural filtration system. When the kidneys are compromised by chronic disease, infection or injury, it can lead to dangerous health issues like high blood pressure, kidney stones, or even kidney failure.

At Endeavor Health, our nephrology teams care for both inpatients and outpatients, offering advanced diagnostic tools and treatment options, including dialysis and minimally invasive renal surgery. Our experts also specialize in managing complex or hard-to-treat hypertension, especially when related to kidney disease.

Nephrology tests & procedures

Our nephrology specialists use advanced diagnostic tools and interventional techniques to evaluate kidney function and guide treatment decisions. From early screening to minimally invasive procedures, we provide the comprehensive services you need to monitor and manage kidney disease.

These tools help our care team diagnose issues earlier, tailor treatment plans more effectively and monitor long-term outcomes.

Our nephrologists do not perform surgical procedures themselves, but they work closely with specialists to perform surgical procedures and treatments. They evaluate and place the appropriate orders, coordinating with interventional radiologists, surgeons and other experts to ensure the best possible care.

Common tests and procedures include:

  • Blood and urine testing: Lab tests to assess kidney function, measure electrolyte levels, and detect abnormalities like proteinuria or hematuria.
  • Kidney imaging: Ultrasound and other imaging studies to evaluate kidney structure, blockages or scarring.
  • Kidney biopsy: A small tissue sample taken to diagnose complex kidney conditions or confirm a diagnosis.
  • Blood pressure monitoring: Accurate, ongoing assessment of hypertension and its impact on kidney function.
  • Dialysis access procedures: Surgical creation of access points for hemodialysis, including fistulas, grafts and venous access devices.
  • Minimally invasive surgery: Procedures like nephrectomy or pyeloplasty, often performed laparoscopically for faster recovery and fewer complications.
Focused dialysis care, tailored to your needs

Our nephrology team provides comprehensive dialysis services, including in-center hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and support for home dialysis. We offer vascular access procedures such as fistula and graft placement, as well as innovative alternatives like HeRO grafts and percutaneous fistula creation. Whether you need ongoing dialysis or are preparing for treatment, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
