Chronic kidney disease

Assessment of reduced kidney function and a personalised plan to support long-term kidney health.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) describes persistent changes in kidney structure or function for at least three months. It is often identified through blood or urine tests before symptoms develop. A specialist review helps establish the likely cause, assess the risk of progression and guide ongoing management.

01 / Assessment

A clear understanding
of your results.

Dr Aarabi considers the pattern of kidney function over time, urine albumin levels, blood pressure, medical history and current treatment. The aim is to distinguish stable changes from progressive disease and identify factors that can be addressed.

  • Review of creatinine, eGFR and electrolyte trends
  • Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio and urinalysis
  • Blood pressure and medication review
  • Kidney ultrasound or additional testing when indicated

02 / Management

A plan tailored to
your clinical needs.

Management is tailored to the underlying diagnosis and your overall health. It may include kidney-protective medicines, blood pressure and diabetes management, cardiovascular risk reduction and advice on nutrition. Follow-up is planned according to your results and clinical needs.

03 / Referral

When to seek review

A review may be appropriate for persistent reduction in kidney function, a falling eGFR, significant albuminuria or uncertainty about the cause of kidney disease.
