Nephrology
Harnett Health is pleased to provide Nephrology based care to its patients and the Harnett County Community.
Nephrology is a medical specialty that manages diseases of the kidney. A Nephrologist is simply a kidney doctor. Nephrologists receive training in Internal Medicine with an additional fellowship experience in Nephrology. Nephrology focuses on the non-surgical treatment and management of kidney disorders. Kidney doctors often manage kidney conditions with medication.
Kidneys are the organs in the human body that filter waste products from the blood to form urine. The content and volume of urine is closely regulated by the kidneys. Damage to the kidneys can result in electrolyte disturbances such as high potassium, swelling, breathing problems, appetite changes, mental status changes, changes in urine output, blood and protein in the urine, and generalized fatigue. Often, patients have no specific symptoms and kidney problems are found on routine blood work.
A Nephrologist manages acute and chronic kidney diseases, kidney stones, electrolyte disorders, high blood pressure, dialysis, and kidney transplantation. There are numerous causes of acute and chronic kidney diseases, including high blood pressure, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and toxin exposure. Kidney diseases may also be hereditary.
Some kidney conditions resolve with medication adjustments, while others can be severe and progressive. When the kidneys fail, dialysis is initiated to filter the waste products from the blood. Dialysis can be performed via the blood or abdomen. The dialysis is monitored closely by the Nephrologist and Nephrology care team.
Your primary care doctor may refer you to our Nephrologist if they are concerned about a kidney problem. Close monitoring of kidney conditions is very important to prevent progressive kidney problems and living a healthy and full life.

Nutrition/ Dietitian Services
Weight Management
Obtaining and/or maintaining a healthy weight is very important as it
reduces your risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, joint pain,
and many cancers, just to name a few.
You can lose up to a pound a week by cutting out 500 Calories per day from your diet.
Some ways to do this would be to:
- Eat smaller portion sizes
- Cut out high Calorie foods, such as desserts, fried foods, potato chips, and sodas
- Avoid snacking while watching television, etc. as you may not realize how many Calories you are consuming
- Read nutrition labels on all foods before buying at the grocery store in order to better choose healthy, low Calorie options
Making sure to stay hydrated with water can also help to curb your appetite.
It is important to consume a variety of foods in order to obtain a variety of nutrients.
Aim for a quarter of your plate to contain whole grains, a quarter with a low-fat protein, and the other half with fresh or frozen fruits/vegetables. It is also important to consume low fat dairy foods, as they contain calcium, which is good for bone health.
Finally, make sure to ask your healthcare provider about the best way for you to engage in physical activity in order to burn additional Calories (30 minutes, 5 days/week may be a good goal for many individuals).
