Nephrology

About Nephrology

Nephrology is the medical speciality that focuses on kidney health—how the kidneys function and how to manage diseases that affect them.

At Crestcare, nephrology specialists consult on a wide range of conditions, including kidney infections, chronic kidney disease, and kidney failure. These conditions are often linked to chronic illnesses like high blood pressure and diabetes, and they can have serious long-term effects if not managed early and effectively.


The nephrologists who consult at Crestcare work closely with patients to slow disease progression, manage symptoms, and protect kidney function over time. Focusing on prevention and long-term care, this department plays a key role in helping patients live healthier, more stable lives.
