Transplant Evaluation Referral
We work closely with both Emory and Piedmont Transplant Specialists in Atlanta as well as other regional transplant centers to help facilitate our End Stage Renal Disease patients getting on the transplant list. We will also refer some of our chronic kidney disease patients for transplant evaluation as they are getting closer to needing dialysis.
Hospital Follow-Up
We provide timely hospital follow-up for all of our hospitalized patients. Whether you have seen us in the past or are brand new to our practice, we will get you in quickly for a follow-up after your hospitalization to closely monitor your kidney or blood pressure problems.
Renal Imaging
We provide renal ultrasounds on a weekly basis. Ultrasounds are the ideal method of evaluating the size and shape of your kidneys without having any invasive procedures.
In-House Lab Draws
Our in-house lab allows patients to get their blood work done without having to go to another laboratory location. Labs can be done at your visit or prior to so that the physician can discuss your lab results with you during your appointment.
Pre-Dialysis Education
Kidney Failure and Dialysis are very daunting terms when you do not know what to expect. When we see that your kidney function is worsening and dialysis may be necessary in the near future, we provide pre-dialysis education to help you understand what to expect. We discuss the different forms of dialysis, dialysis access options, dietary modifications, and lifestyle changes. We are here to answer any questions that you may have as you are entering into this new stage of kidney failure.
Nutrition Counseling
Dietary choices play a large role in the health of patients with kidney disease. It is important to make sure that you are drinking the appropriate amount of water and avoiding certain foods depending on your individual health. We can help to recommend foods to eat or avoid based on the level of your kidney disease while also considering your other health conditions such as diabetes.
