Why Choose Kidney Care at OMC?
Our Nephrology team provides comprehensive care for kidney health, including:
- blood pressure management
- electrolyte monitoring
- kidney biopsies
- dialysis care
- treatment for conditions such as glomerulonephritis, kidney stones, and other kidney disorders.
When needed, your care team will complete a thorough kidney evaluation using lab tests and imaging to better understand how your kidneys are working and to monitor changes over time. This helps guide treatment and protect kidney function.
Regular kidney testing is especially important if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disease. Finding problems early can help slow disease progression and prevent complications.
Kidney disease often has no symptoms in its early stages. As it advances, you may notice:
- ongoing fatigue or low energy
- swelling in the hands, feet, or face
- changes in urination, such as going more often, foamy urine, or trouble urinating
- blood pressure that’s hard to control
- muscle cramps or general weakness.
If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment with a nephrologist. Early evaluation can make a meaningful difference in protecting your kidney health.
