High Cholesterol
Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence, the loss of urine control caused by illness, medications or aging, affects about 13 million Americans. Although effective treatments are available, only about 10 percent of those who suffer from urinary incontinence seek medical care for the problem, often because of embarrassment.

Internal Medicine
Every nephrologist has received extensive training in general internal medicine, and many nephrologists will treat their patients for other things besides kidney problems. It’s important that patients tell their kidney doctors if they notice any changes in their health.
Nephrology
Once they have passed the ABIM exam and been accepted into a nephrology program, they must complete a two- to three-year fellowship in nephrology. This fellowship must be accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
Kidney Cancer
A nephrologist will then do blood and urine tests to determine how well the patient’s kidneys are functioning. He or she may also order a kidney ultrasound. When necessary, a nephrologist may perform a kidney biopsy in order to better determine what is wrong with the kidneys. However, a nephrologist is not a surgeon and typically does not perform operations. Treatment of kidney cancer, prostate operations and removal of kidney stones are usually handled by a different type of physician known as a urologist.
Kidney Stones
Management of acute kidney failure — Acute kidney failure occurs when the kidneys suddenly stop working. Sometimes the kidneys can recover from acute kidney failure. Kidney doctors learn to treat all reversible situations that cause acute kidney failure, such as kidney stones, infections or major blood loss.

Stress Management
High blood pressure can be damaging to your kidneys. Work with your doctor or care management team to develop a plan to keep your blood pressure in check. We will aim for a variety of blood pressure goals depending on each patient’s underlying medical problems. Simple life choices, like regular physical activity, stress management or a healthy diet, can improve your blood pressure. You may even want to invest in an at home blood pressure monitor. Talk to your doctor about how to use it and ensure you get the most accurate results.

Ultrasound
While the serum creatinine is an indication of kidney function, since we are all of different sizes and muscle masses using a variety of other variables becomes necessary. This equation was derived from a large study that looked at all these factors to come up with a standardized way to measure kidney function. This GFR is used to determine what stage of kidney disease one has, stages 1 and 2 being very mild, with GFRs above 60 ml/min. When the GFR is greater than 60, other markers of kidney function such as an abnormal urine or abnormal ultrasound are necessary for making the diagnosis. When the GFR is less than 60 for greater than three months, it indicates the presence of CKD.  You may be told you have “stage III or stage IV CKD” if the GFR is less than 60. If it is less than 15, many will require either dialysis or a kidney transplant.
