During your hospital stay, your doctor, a hospitalist or another specialist, may request a consultation with a nephrologist—a doctor who specializes in kidney care—for additional evaluation and treatment recommendations. Renal Specialists of Houston (RSOH) has extensive experience in the inpatient management of both stable and critically ill individuals and is available 24/7 to provide expert kidney care for hospitalized patients.
- The consultation typically includes a thorough review of your medical history, a physical examination, and appropriate testing to help determine the cause of your kidney-related issues and guide the best course of treatment.
- While you are in the hospital, a Renal Specialists of Houston nephrologist will follow your progress closely and may recommend outpatient follow-up after discharge, depending on your ongoing needs.
- Our nephrologists have expertise in managing a wide range of complex conditions, including the care of hospitalized patients with kidney transplants, those requiring dialysis, and critically ill patients in intensive care.
