Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Nephrologist and a Urologist?
A nephrologist is a medical doctor who specializes in kidney function and conditions that affect how kidneys filter blood (like CKD or diabetes). A urologist focuses on the structure of the urinary tract and kidneys, treating issues like kidney stones, infections, and surgical needs.
Do your kidney specialists provide dialysis oversight in Aurora or Batavia?
Yes. Our board-certified nephrologists provide comprehensive management and oversight for patients requiring dialysis at our dialysis center.
What are the early warning signs of chronic kidney disease (CKD)?
Early kidney disease often has no symptoms. However, as it progresses, you may notice fatigue, swelling in the ankles or feet (edema), changes in urination frequency, or persistent foamy urine. Regular screenings for those with diabetes or hypertension are vital for early detection.
Do I need a referral to schedule an appointment with your Nephrology specialists?
Referral requirements depend on your specific insurance provider. While many PPO plans allow for direct scheduling, some HMOs require a referral from your primary care physician. We recommend contacting our Aurora or Batavia office, and our staff can help verify your coverage.
