About renal medicine
Renal medicine, also known as nephrology, is the study and treatment of kidney disorders. This includes conditions that cause chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI). When a patient has kidney disease, they are unable to filter out waste products and excess fluid from the blood, which can make them seriously unwell.
At Cromwell Hospital, our consultant nephrologists and supporting healthcare professionals have the knowledge and expertise to devise bespoke, world-class treatment plans for your kidney condition.

Renal conditions we treat
At the Liver and Renal Centre, we treat a comprehensive range of conditions affecting the kidneys, which can cause either chronic kidney disease (CKD) or acute kidney injury (AKI). These include glomerular disease, diabetic kidney disease, hypertension and renovascular disease, renal stone disease, pyelonephritis, urine infections and more.
We also treat many forms of kidney disease that occur with other common illnesses, such as heart disease, vascular disease, and diabetes.
Diagnostic tests for renal conditions
We understand that having a suspected kidney disorder can be worrying, which is why our Liver and Renal Centre provides swift access to same-day diagnostic tests alongside your initial consultation – all under one roof at our private hospital in west London.
Tests you may have include blood and urine tests, as well as imaging scans like MRI, CT or ultrasound. Some patients may also need more invasive investigations, such as an angiogram or biopsy.
