Nephrology services
Our hospital uses the latest medical technology to diagnose your kidney condition. Then, we create a personalized treatment and management plan based on your needs. Making sure you understand your condition and treatment options is one of our top priorities.

If surgery is required due to kidney disease or renal cancer, we offer minimally invasive options. Our laparoscopic techniques use small incisions and a thin instrument containing a tiny video camera to locate and remove diseased tissue or the entire kidney. These procedures potentially result in faster recovery and a quicker return to regular activities.
Treatment for chronic kidney disease (CKD)
CKD means your kidneys are damaged and can no longer filter blood as they should. This can cause waste to build up in your body, leading to other serious health concerns. According to the American Diabetes Association,two-thirds of all cases of CKD are caused by diabetes and high blood pressure. Some infections, inherited diseases and injuries can also lead to kidney disease.
Treatments for CKD may include medication to lower blood pressure, control blood glucose and lower blood cholesterol. If kidney disease leads to kidney failure, treatment options include dialysis, kidney removal or a kidney transplant.
