Nephrology

The kidneys are crucial to our health. Serving as filters for the body, they remove waste and excess fluid from the body. They’re also closely related to heart health. People with diabetes or high blood pressure have a greater risk of kidney problems, including kidney disease and renal failure. If you are at high risk for kidney disease or have blood and urine samples indicating potential kidney problems, a nephrology specialist at West Tennessee Healthcare can help.
