Our kidney experts use leading-edge technology and techniques to diagnose and treat a full range of acute and chronic kidney diseases, including:
- Acute kidney injury — Acute kidney injury (AKI), also called acute kidney failure or acute renal failure, happens when your kidneys suddenly stop working.
- Albuminuria — Albuminuria, a form of proteinuria, occurs when you have a protein called albumin in your urine.
- Alport syndrome — Alport syndrome is a rare, inherited disorder that is present at birth and causes damage to your kidneys, ears, and eyes.
- Bartter syndrome — Bartter syndrome, also known as salt-wasting nephropathy, is a group of rare, inherited kidney disorders that are present at birth and cause imbalances in mineral (electrolyte) levels in your body.
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) — CKD damages your kidneys and causes reduced kidney function, which can affect your overall health.
- Diabetic nephropathy — Diabetic nephropathy, also known as diabetic kidney disease, is a type of chronic kidney disease that happens when your kidneys are damaged due to high blood sugar levels caused by diabetes.
- Diabetic neuropathy — Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by diabetes.
- Electrolyte disorders — Electrolyte disorders happen when your body’s levels of sodium, potassium, calcium, or magnesium are too high or too low.
- Fabry’s disease — Fabry disease is a rare, progressive genetic disorder that happens when a fatty substance called globotriaosylceramide builds up in your cells.
- Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) — FSGS happens when scar tissue develops in some of your kidneys’ filtering units, called the glomeruli.
- Glomerular disease — Glomerular disease refers to certain types of kidney disease, such as FSGS or glomerulonephritis, that damage the glomeruli.
- Glomerulonephritis — Glomerulonephritis occurs when the glomeruli, the parts of the kidneys that filter waste and fluids from the blood, are damaged.
- Hypercalcemia — Hypercalcemia, also known as high calcium levels, happens when you have too much calcium in your blood.
- Hyperkalemia — Hyperkalemia occurs when the potassium levels in your blood are too high.
- Hypocalcemia — Hypocalcemia, also known as low calcium levels or calcium deficiency disease, happens when you do not have enough calcium in your blood.
- Hypokalemia — Hypokalemia occurs when the potassium levels in your blood are too low.
- Inherited kidney disease — Inherited kidney disease refers to a group of genetic disorders that are present at birth and can eventually lead to kidney failure.
- Kidney failure — Kidney failure, also called end-stage renal disease, is a life-threatening condition that occurs when your kidneys don’t work well enough to filter waste from your blood.
- Kidney infection — A kidney infection, also called pyelonephritis, is a type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that usually begins in the bladder and travels to the kidneys.
- Kidney transplant rejection — Kidney transplant rejection happens when your body’s immune system doesn’t accept your new kidney and reacts by fighting against it.
- Liddle syndrome — Liddle syndrome, also known as pseudoaldosteronism, is a rare genetic disorder that causes abnormal kidney function, which leads to high blood pressure (hypertension).
- Nephritis — Nephritis happens when parts of your kidney become inflamed (swollen).
- Nephrotic syndrome — Nephrotic syndrome refers to a group of symptoms that occur when your kidneys aren’t working correctly. Symptoms may include protein in your urine, low levels of albumin in your blood, swelling in your body, and high cholesterol.
- Pauci-immune vasculitis — is a rare condition that causes damage to the blood vessels of the kidney, leading to rapid loss of kidney function.
- Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) — PKD is a common genetic kidney disorder that causes fluid-filled cysts to grow in your kidneys.
- Secondary hypertension — Secondary hypertension is high blood pressure caused by another medical condition, such as kidney disease.
- Tuberous sclerosis —Tuberous sclerosis, also known as tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), is a rare genetic disorder that causes noncancerous (benign) tumors to grow in different parts of the body, including the brain, lungs, kidneys, heart, skin, and eyes.
