Will I have facility charges for a nephrology visit?
Duke Nephrology Clinic is a hospital-based outpatient department, so additional facility charges may apply. Durham Nephrology Associates states that it does not charge a facility fee for dialysis services.
What should I look for when choosing a nephrologist?
Match the physician's focus to your condition, such as glomerular disease, resistant hypertension, polycystic kidney disease, or dialysis planning. Board certification in nephrology and access to blood and urine testing are also relevant factors.
Which Durham nephrologists help patients choose a dialysis method?
Durham Nephrology Associates offers in-center, short-daily, and nocturnal home hemodialysis plus CAPD and automated peritoneal dialysis. John L. Musgrove Jr., MD provides dialysis timing, modality selection, and access-placement coordination.
Should acute kidney problems be handled as a routine nephrology appointment?
Acute kidney injury can require urgent medical evaluation, especially with very low urine output, severe swelling, breathing trouble, confusion, or chest pain. Call emergency services or seek emergency care for severe or rapidly worsening symptoms rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
