Welcome to Sydney Nephrology

Providing Comprehensive Care for Kidney Conditions 
​Centrally located in Leichhardt with free parking for patients onsite, and easy access to the clinic, we offer advanced, comprehensive and compassionate care for patients, from diagnosis to treatment. 

Here at Sydney Nephrology, we analyse the function of the kidney and take actions to prevent and treat disease, preserving kidney health through diet, medication and other renal therapies. As part of our comprehensive service to look after your health, we will also care for systemic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol and obesity, which are all closely related to kidney disease. We maintain a strong focus at your appointment on the prevention and early detection of the many complications that can arise as a consequence of kidney disease, such as heart disease, anaemia, electrolyte disturbances, acid-base disturbances, and renal osteodystrophy (to name a few). We will work closely with you and your local GP to provide you with the best care possible.

​Our services include:

  • Medical Consultation
    • Nephrology 
    • Internal Medicine
  • Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring
