St Vincent’s Private Hospitals offer a wide range of nephrology related services, for details of the nephrology services at your local St Vincent’s Private Hospital, click here.

We have nephrologists with expertise in all aspects of kidney disease

Your GP will refer you to a nephrologist (kidney specialist) if tests show that your kidneys are not working as well as they should.

Your kidneys work by filtering waste products out of your bloodstream and producing urine.
Symptoms of kidney disease to look out for include high blood pressure, changes in your urine, tiredness, puffiness around your eyes, pain in your kidneys, kidney stones, difficulty sleeping, loss of appetite and more.

Tests of your blood and urine can help to diagnose a problem with your kidneys.
