Nephrology
Protecting Your Kidney Health
Nephrology
Nephrology is the medical specialty dedicated to the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases affecting the kidneys and urinary system.
The kidneys play essential roles in the body, including blood filtration, toxin elimination, blood pressure regulation, fluid and mineral balance, and the production of important hormones for overall body function.
Protecting Your Kidney Health
At Family Medical Centre & Antiaging Clinic, Nephrology consultations are based on a personalised and integrated approach focused on kidney function assessment, prevention of kidney disease progression and continuous patient follow-up.
Nephrological assessment may include the evaluation of medical history, risk factors, laboratory analysis and complementary diagnostic tests, allowing a detailed assessment of kidney function and the body’s metabolic balance.
