Nephrology

Nephrology is a medical specialty that deals with the kidneys. Kidney plays a major responsibility for filtering wastes from your blood and processing those wastes out of the body as urine.  The kidney processes such chemicals as potassium, calcium, sodium, phosphorus, and creatinine.  The accumulation of these chemicals in the body are the leading causes of unpleasant symptoms and kidney failure. 

At MSU Medical Centre, using a well-established multidisciplinary approach, our nephrologists provide patients with diagnosis and treatment for diseases in the kidney, as well as educating on kidney care so that patients can receive the best treatment based on their situation.
