About the specialty

Nephrology treats kidney diseases and their consequences on the body: high blood pressure, mineral salt disorders, kidney failure.

When kidney function is no longer sufficient, dialysis partly replaces the role of the kidney. Polycrabat Sevamed reviews the file and coordinates referral to the appropriate team, clarifying the arrangements for the stay with them.

Main conditions treated

  • Acute or chronic kidney failure
  • Proteinuria and glomerular diseases
  • High blood pressure of renal origin
  • Sodium, potassium or calcium disorders
  • Kidney complications of diabetes
  • Follow-up before and after a kidney transplant

Tests and treatment options

The techniques used and their indication are decided by the doctor, case by case. As a general guide:

  • Kidney function tests
  • Kidney ultrasound
  • Haemodialysis depending on the indication
  • Peritoneal dialysis depending on the indication

Depending on the medical indication, the technique concerned is offered within the Polycrabat Sevamed network. Its availability in a specific facility is confirmed by the coordination team on a case-by-case basis.
