Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Chronic Kidney Disease Treatment and Care
Individuals with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) have reduced function of their kidneys or kidneys that have completely stopped working. If your primary care physician feels you have symptoms of CKD or you have been diagnosed with CKD, you are likely experiencing edema, high blood pressure, fatigue and your bones may even be damaged.

What You Should Do
If you do not already have an appointment with the Wichita Nephrology Group, your primary care physician will need to call and schedule your first appointment. Once you have an appointment in place, you may review the Your Visit page to find out what you can do to prepare for the visit and to determine what you should bring.
