kidney failure

Dr. Jhon Guzman-Rivera is a specialist in adult nephrology. He works in Atlantis, FL and Wellington, FL.

"I have been a patient of Dr. Guzman (and his partners) for over 15 years. Not only are they well qualified and great doctors, they are very caring and fully explain all matters as to one's health. Even when you are in hospital for another specialty service, this practice checks up on you to be aware of any related kidney problems which may arise. I am still quite healthy after all these years (surprisingly) partially because of Dr. Guzman's complete awareness and caring for my total health and well being! If you ever need a Kidney specialist, this is the group to see."

What is Nephrology?

Nephrology is the medical specialty that deals with diseases of the kidneys. Nephrologists deal with illnesses that are caused by lowered kidney function, such as certain types of hypertension. They also treat illnesses that harm the kidneys, such as acute kidney disease. Other specific diseases and disorders that are treated by a nephrologist include:

Chronic kidney disease
Polycystic kidney disease
Acute renal failure
Blood or protein in the urine (hematuria or proteinuria)
Kidney stones
Nephritis, or inflammation of the kidneys

Pediatric nephrologists specialize in kidney diseases and disorders affecting infants and children. They may see children for inherited kidney diseases, recurring urinary tract infections, or high blood pressure, among other problems.

A nephrologist may use lab tests, ultrasound, and biopsies to diagnose the problem for their patients. They might prescribe treatments ranging from diet changes to dialysis to transplants. Most kidney problems are chronic, meaning that they last for a long time. Thus, nephrologists get to know their patients well and may treat them for many years.
