Treatments / Procedures:

Dialysis Access Procedures (Performed by Vascular Surgery):

These procedures create and maintain access points needed for dialysis treatment.

• Arteriovenous (AV) Fistula Creation – A surgical connection between an artery and a vein, considered the gold standard for long-term dialysis access.
• Arteriovenous (AV) Graft Placement – A synthetic tube connects an artery and a vein when natural vessels are not suitable for a fistula.
• Dialysis Catheter Placement – A catheter inserted into a central vein for short- or long-term hemodialysis access.

Access Maintenance and Support (Provided by Interventional Nephrology):

Our interventional nephrologists provide specialized procedures to ensure that dialysis access sites remain functional and complication-free.

• Fistula and Graft Evaluation – Imaging and testing to assess access to health and performance.
• Access Site Maintenance and Repair – Minimally invasive procedures to treat clots or narrowing in dialysis access sites.
• Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Placement – Insertion of a catheter for patients receiving peritoneal dialysis at home.

Transplant-Related Procedures:

These services support evaluation and readiness for kidney transplant:

• Kidney Transplant Evaluation – A series of tests to determine transplant eligibility.
• Living Donor Kidney Transplant – Receiving a kidney from a living donor often offers better outcomes.
• Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant – Transplantation from a deceased donor.
• Pre-Transplant Care – Ongoing medical care to manage kidney function while awaiting a donor.

Treatments / Procedures:

• Nephrology: Anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive medications, dialysis if kidneys fail
• Immunology: Treatment of underlying autoimmune causes
• Nutrition Services: Protein and sodium restriction

Treatments / Procedures:

• Nephrology: Blood pressure management, monitoring kidney function, dialysis in later stages
• Cardiology: Support for heart health and hypertension-related complications
• Primary Care: Long-term blood pressure monitoring and medication adjustment

Treatments / Procedures:

• Immunosuppressive medications such as steroids, mycophenolate, or cyclophosphamide to reduce immune system activity
• Medications to control blood pressure, including ACE inhibitors or ARBs
• Lifestyle changes like a low-sodium diet and staying well hydrated
• Infusion therapy, using medications such as belimumab or rituximab, to help reduce inflammation and prevent flare-ups
• Dialysis or kidney transplant in advanced cases where kidney function is severely affected

Treatments / Procedures:

• Urology: Removal of obstruction (stones, tumors, or enlarged prostate)
• Nephrology: Dialysis for advanced damage
• Radiology: Imaging-guided drainage procedures

Treatments / Procedures:
