Nephrology
The Renal Department provides consultative services to all departments at Morehouse Healthcare and to other private physicians in the community. Inpatient and Outpatient Services are provided at the Renal Clinic at Grady Hospital and at the faculty practice office at 1800 Howell Mill Road, Suite 275. Consultative services involve complex fluid, electrolytes, acid-base disorders, difficult hypertension, acute and chronic kidney diseases and renal replacement therapies.
Various research activities are undertaken by the section at the dialysis clinics, Outpatient clinics and at Morehouse School of Medicine. Most of the research work involves clinical nephrology in the areas of hypertension, progression of chronic kidney disease, dialysis vascular access, dialysis outcomes and cardio-renal syndromes.
