At UPMC, our nephrologists diagnose and treat patients of all ages with kidney diseases and related disorders. We provide a full range of care for every stage — from the earliest changes in function, to dialysis and kidney transplantation.
Whatever the issue, our dedicated team will create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Our goal is to restore your optimal health, so you can get back to a full and active life.
Kidneys play a vital a role in your health, filtering blood for waste and extra fluid. Our nephrologists treat conditions that both directly and indirectly affect this important organ. Common diseases include:
Our specialists also help manage underlying factors that can cause kidney conditions, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, autoimmune diseases (like lupus) and medications. And, we work closely with UPMC oncologists to provide kidney cancer patients with the most experienced and comprehensive care available.
Simple blood and urine tests can help determine if you have kidney disease. Our kidney specialists may also recommend advanced imaging, including an ultrasound or CT scan, which can detect changes in the kidneys as well as any obstructions.
Depending on your needs, we’ll work with you to create a personalized treatment plan. For mild or early-stage conditions, options may include lifestyle support or medication, which can help relieve symptoms and stop the problem from progressing.
For some people with chronic kidney disease, the kidneys eventually stop working, in which case the body needs a new way to perform those vital functions. Our nephrologists can help you find the best option for your health and lifestyle:
