What I Do

As a doctor I specializes in diagnosing and treating kidney diseases. I manage conditions like high blood pressure, kidney stones, chronic kidney disease, as well as dialysis.

AKI

In situation of acute kidney injury (AKI), I help evaluate the underlying cause, and implements treatments such as fluid management, electrolyte correction, and dialysis if necessary, to help support the kidney function while preventing further damage.

Electrolytes Corrections

When electrolytes of the body, including sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium derails, I help assess and monitors and offer treatment options to aid in re-storing and maintain proper electrolyte levels in the body

Dialysis

Working with our dialysis technicians and nurses, I oversees the dialysis treatment for patients with kidney failure, ensuring that the dialysis process effectively removes waste and excess fluids from the blood.
