Glomerular diseases affect small filters in your kidneys called glomeruli. Damage to these can affect your kidneys’ ability to filter toxins out of your body and may cause protein to leak into your urine.
In our glomerular disease clinic, we collaborate closely with other specialists such as rheumatology and maternal-fetal-medicine to deliver prompt, exceptional care to our patients. As a patient, you may benefit from various resources such as genetic testing, innovative therapies, participation in clinical trials, and the convenience of on-site kidney biopsy. Our onsite dedicated nephropathologist can provide a comprehensive biopsy report.
