Nephrology-Hypertension Associates of Central Jersey, PA focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of kidney-related conditions. The kidneys play a crucial role in filtering blood, removing toxins, and regulating fluid balance in the body, resulting in the production of urine stored in the bladder.
By conducting blood and urine tests, the professionals at Nephrology-Hypertension Associates assess kidney function. Monitoring markers like Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine levels helps evaluate the kidneys' ability to remove toxins. Protein in the urine is an indicator of kidney disease that can be measured through a 24-hour urine collection.
Chronic kidney diseases, often caused by conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, may lead to kidney failure. Differentiating between acute and chronic kidney failure, the clinic offers treatments such as dialysis or transplantation for End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) when necessary.
