At Evolve Health, nephrology specialists provide advanced care for kidney disease, hypertension, and metabolic conditions affecting kidney function. We focus on early detection, risk reduction, and personalized treatment plans to help preserve kidney health, slow disease progression, and improve long-term outcomes.
From chronic kidney disease (CKD) management to dialysis coordination and transplant care, our team delivers evidence-based treatment tailored to every stage of kidney health.
Evolve Health Nephrology Coming Soon
Our nephrology program is designed to diagnose, treat, and manage kidney disease at every stage—from early risk detection to advanced renal failure. We specialize in chronic kidney disease (CKD), resistant hypertension, electrolyte imbalances, and kidney complications related to diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Through advanced diagnostics, medication management, and coordinated care, we help patients protect kidney function and reduce long-term complications. With a focus on prevention, education, and ongoing monitoring, our goal is to deliver proactive, patient-centered kidney care that improves outcomes and quality of life.
Comprehensive care for all stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD stages 1–5), focused on slowing progression, preserving kidney function, and reducing complications. We use advanced diagnostics, medication management, and lifestyle interventions to improve long-term outcomes.
Expert management of high blood pressure, including resistant hypertension and kidney-related hypertension. Our team identifies underlying causes and creates targeted treatment plans to reduce cardiovascular and kidney disease risk.
Specialized care for kidney complications related to diabetes. We focus on early detection, blood sugar optimization, and kidney-protective therapies to prevent progression to advanced kidney disease.
Diagnosis and treatment of imbalances involving potassium, sodium, and acid-base regulation. These conditions often result from kidney dysfunction and require precise medical management to prevent serious complications.
Evaluation and treatment of protein in the urine and underlying kidney disorders such as glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome. We use individualized treatment strategies to protect kidney function and manage immune-related conditions.
Care for sudden declines in kidney function due to illness, dehydration, or medication-related causes. We provide post-hospitalization monitoring and treatment to support recovery and prevent long-term damage.
Advanced management of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), including transplant evaluation, pre-transplant optimization, and post-transplant monitoring. We coordinate closely with transplant centers to ensure seamless, long-term care.
Comprehensive care for patients requiring dialysis, including hemodialysis coordination and peritoneal dialysis (home dialysis options). We guide patients through every stage of treatment planning and ongoing care.
A nephrologist is a doctor who specializes in kidney health and treats conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), high blood pressure, electrolyte imbalances, and kidney failure. You should see a nephrologist if you have abnormal kidney lab results, protein in your urine, difficult-to-control blood pressure, or kidney complications related to diabetes.
Early kidney disease often has no noticeable symptoms. As it progresses, symptoms may include fatigue, swelling in the legs or ankles, changes in urination, and high blood pressure. Because symptoms can be subtle, routine blood and urine tests are the most reliable way to detect kidney disease early and begin treatment.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a gradual loss of kidney function over time, categorized into stages 1 through 5. Treatment focuses on slowing progression through blood pressure control, diabetes management, medication optimization, and lifestyle changes. Early diagnosis and ongoing monitoring are key to preventing complications and delaying kidney failure.
Yes. Kidney disease is often detected early through simple blood and urine tests. Blood tests measure creatinine and estimate kidney function (eGFR), while urine tests identify protein or abnormalities. Early detection allows for timely treatment, helping slow disease progression and reduce the risk of long-term complications.
High creatinine levels may indicate reduced kidney function, as creatinine is a waste product filtered by the kidneys. Causes can include dehydration, medication effects, or underlying kidney disease. Elevated levels should be evaluated by a healthcare provider or nephrologist to determine the cause and whether treatment is needed.
High blood pressure can damage blood vessels in the kidneys, reducing their ability to filter waste effectively. Over time, this can lead to chronic kidney disease. Managing blood pressure is one of the most important steps in protecting kidney function and preventing long-term complications.
A nephrologist focuses on medical conditions affecting kidney function, such as kidney disease, hypertension, and electrolyte disorders. A urologist treats structural or surgical issues of the urinary tract, such as kidney stones, prostate conditions, or urinary obstruction. Both specialties may work together when needed.
Dialysis is typically needed when kidney function declines to the point where the body can no longer effectively remove waste and excess fluid. This usually occurs in advanced kidney failure (stage 5 CKD). A nephrologist helps determine the right timing and prepares patients for dialysis or other treatment options.
In most cases, chronic kidney disease cannot be fully reversed, but it can often be slowed significantly. Treatment focuses on controlling blood pressure, managing diabetes, adjusting medications, and making lifestyle changes. Early intervention plays a critical role in preserving kidney function and delaying progression.
Protein in the urine, known as proteinuria, can be an early sign of kidney damage. Healthy kidneys typically prevent protein from leaking into urine. When protein is present, it may indicate underlying kidney disease or other medical conditions that require evaluation and management by a healthcare provider.
Individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, obesity, a family history of kidney disease, or age over 60 are at higher risk. Routine screening with blood and urine tests is recommended for these groups to detect kidney disease early and begin appropriate treatment.
Diabetic kidney disease is managed by controlling blood sugar levels, optimizing blood pressure, and using medications that help protect kidney function. Regular monitoring of kidney labs and urine protein is essential. Early and consistent management can significantly slow progression and reduce complications.
During a nephrology consultation at Evolve Health, your provider will review your medical history, lab results, medications, and kidney risk factors. You’ll receive a personalized care plan that may include further testing, lifestyle recommendations, and treatment options to help protect kidney function and improve long-term health.
Referral requirements depend on your insurance plan. Some patients can schedule directly, while others may need a referral from a primary care provider. Our team can help verify your coverage and guide you through the scheduling process to ensure timely access to nephrology care.
