Doral Health & Wellnes Kidney Department

Doral Health & Wellness Nephrology provides comprehensive care for patients with kidney disease.

Conditions

Doral Health offers comprehensive Nephrology services for

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

A long-term condition where kidneys lose function, causing fatigue, swelling, high blood pressure, and urination changes. Early detection and care can help slow its progression.

Electrolyte Disorders

Imbalances in electrolytes like sodium, potassium, or calcium, affecting nerve, muscle, and organ function. Usually caused by dehydration, kidney issues, or medications.

Glomerulonephritis

Inflammation of the kidney's filtering units (glomeruli), causing blood/protein in urine, swelling, and high blood pressure. It can lead to kidney damage if left untreated.

Hematuria (Blood in Urine)

The presence of blood in urine, which can be visible (red/pink urine) or microscopic. Causes range from infections and kidney stones to more serious conditions like cancer.

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

A condition where blood pressure is consistently too high, straining the heart and blood vessels. It increases risks of heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage.

Kidney Failure (End-Stage Renal Disease)

A severe condition where the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste and maintain fluid balance, requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant for survival.

Kidney Infections (Pyelonephritis)

A bacterial infection in the kidneys causing fever, back pain, nausea, and frequent urination. Often starts as a UTI and requires prompt antibiotic treatment.

Kidney Stones

Hard mineral deposits in the kidneys causing severe pain, nausea, and trouble urinating. Often linked to dehydration or diet. They may pass naturally or require medical treatment.

Nephrotic Syndrome

A kidney disorder causing excessive protein loss in urine, swelling (especially in legs/feet), and high cholesterol. It results from damage to kidney's filtering units.

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

A genetic disorder causing fluid-filled cysts to grow in the kidneys, leading to enlarged kidneys and reduced function. Symptoms include pain, high blood pressure, and kidney failure.

Renal Support

Kidney disease often has no early symptoms. Doral Nephrology provides advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment plans to address your concerns. Take control of your health and book your appointment today

Procedures

Nephrology services for kidney care

Continuous renal replacement therapy

A slow, continuous dialysis treatment used in critical care to support kidney function by removing waste, toxins, and excess fluid in patients with acute kidney failure.

Diagnostic kidney ultrasound

A non-invasive imaging technique using sound waves to create detailed images of the kidneys, assessing their size, structure, blood flow, and detecting abnormalities such as cysts, stones, or tumors.

Interventional procedures on hemodialysis access (thrombectomy, angioplasty, stenting)

These are specialized procedures to maintain or restore the function of hemodialysis access sites. These interventions ensure effective dialysis and prolong the lifespan of the access site.

Percutaneous native kidney biopsy

A minimally invasive procedure using a needle to extract kidney tissue for disease diagnosis, typically guided by ultrasound or CT.

Percutaneous transplant kidney biopsy

A minimally invasive procedure using a needle to collect tissue from a transplanted kidney, guided by ultrasound, to monitor function or diagnose rejection or disease.

Peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion

A surgical procedure to place a catheter into the abdominal cavity for peritoneal dialysis, using the peritoneum as a natural filter to remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the blood.

Plasmapheresis

A medical procedure that removes plasma from the blood to eliminate harmful substances like antibodies or toxins, replacing it with donor plasma or a substitute, often used for autoimmune or kidney-related conditions.

Temporary hemodialysis catheter insertion

A procedure where a catheter is placed into a vein, typically in the neck, chest, or groin, to provide temporary access for hemodialysis treatment.

Tunneled hemodialysis catheter placement

A procedure to insert a long-term hemodialysis catheter into a central vein, tunneled under the skin to reduce infection risk and enhance stability for repeated dialysis sessions.

Ultrasound guidance for kidney biopsies

A technique using real-time ultrasound imaging to guide the needle during kidney biopsies, ensuring precise tissue targeting and minimizing risks to surrounding structures.
