Nephrology, Hypertension and Dialysis

Nephrology Specialists at American Hospital help your kidneys function the way they should. We provide a full range of services, including advanced diagnostic procedures and treatments, to help patients prevent or delay kidney failure and live healthier lives while managing a kidney disorder.

About Nephrology:

Nephrology is an Internal Medicine specialty addressing conditions related to impaired kidney function. Normal kidney functions involve regulating the blood pressure, maintaining the balance of a body in terms of water, electrolytes (mainly comprising sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium), acid-base, blood pressure, vitamin D production, and erythropoietin production which controls the red blood cell production. Any imbalance in their production can prevent kidneys from performing their routine functions, and lead to serious complications such as kidney failure.
