Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects more than 26 million Americans—and millions more are at risk, especially those with diabetes or high blood pressure. Because CKD often develops silently without early symptoms, regular screening by your primary care physician is essential for early detection and timely intervention.
If you have been diagnosed with CKD or are at risk, ask your doctor for a referral to Renal Specialists of Houston. Our experienced nephrologists will partner with you to manage your kidney health, slow disease progression, and reduce the risk of complications, including end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Our multidisciplinary team focuses on comprehensive CKD care with the following goals:
- Slow progression of kidney disease
- Preserve remaining kidney function
- Control blood pressure effectively
- Provide nutrition guidance and physical activity recommendations
- Manage anemia
- Prevent CKD-related bone disease
- Treat metabolic acidosis
- Coordinate care with your primary care physician and other specialists
- Regularly review and adjust medications
- Prepare for renal replacement therapy (dialysis or transplant) if or when needed
At Renal Specialists of Houston, our mission is to help you maintain your quality of life and long-term health through proactive, personalized kidney care.
