\n\t\t\t
<\/span><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
The kidneys filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood.\u00a0 The body cannot survive without the kidneys.\u00a0Kidney Disease is a common complication of Diabetes and High Blood Pressure.<\/p>\n
Early detection of kidney problems and aggressive treatment increase the likelihood that you can keep your kidneys healthy. The Kidney Health team at WesternU Health is dedicated to focusing on prevention. Meeting the goals for blood glucose and blood pressure control can prevent or at least slow the development and progression of kidney disease.<\/p>\n
If kidney disease goes without treatment, the disease will progress through the stages, ending in kidney failure. Once the kidneys have reached end-stage kidney disease, dialysis (a method of removing wastes from the blood) or a kidney transplant must be performed to survive.<\/p>\n
The Kidney Health team has implemented a team-based care model that includes a Nephrologist, Nurse Practitioner, Pharm. D, and a Registered Dietician.\u00a0 By integrating the care of all these professionals, we have successfully put that patient at the center of their care.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
