Comprehensive Kidney Care at Delta Health System
Expert Care for Kidney Disease
The kidneys play a vital role in maintaining overall health by filtering waste, removing excess fluid, balancing electrolytes, and helping regulate blood pressure. When kidney function is impaired, it can affect many areas of the body and lead to serious health complications.
At Delta Health System, our nephrology team provides comprehensive care for patients with acute and chronic kidney conditions. We focus on early detection, treatment, and ongoing management to help patients maintain the best possible kidney health and quality of life.
Signs and Symptoms of Kidney Disease
Kidney disease often develops gradually and may not cause symptoms in its early stages. Patients should speak with a healthcare provider if they experience:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Changes in urination or blood in the urine
- Difficulty controlling blood pressure
- Shortness of breath
- Loss of appetite or unexplained weight loss
- Swelling of the face, hands, ankles, or feet
- Metallic taste in the mouth
- Fatigue or weakness
- Trouble concentrating or mental confusion
- Difficulty sleeping
Conditions We Treat
Our nephrology specialists diagnose and manage a wide range of kidney-related conditions, including:
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
- Acute Kidney Injury
- High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
- Diabetic Kidney Disease
- Glomerulonephritis
- Polycystic Kidney Disease
- Lupus Nephritis
- Electrolyte Disorders
- Kidney Failure
Chronic kidney disease is one of the most common kidney disorders and is often associated with diabetes, hypertension, and autoimmune diseases. Early diagnosis and treatment can help slow disease progression and protect kidney function.
Dialysis Services
For patients whose kidneys are no longer able to effectively perform their essential functions, dialysis can provide life-sustaining treatment.
Dialysis removes waste products, toxins, and excess fluid from the blood while helping maintain proper electrolyte balance. Depending on a patient's condition, dialysis treatments are typically required several times each week.
Our team works closely with patients and their families to coordinate dialysis care, provide education, and support them throughout their treatment journey. For some patients, kidney transplantation may be an option that can eliminate the need for long-term dialysis.
