Nephrology
Your kidneys filter waste and toxins from your blood. When kidney disease or other conditions affect this important work, it can trigger serious complications. Finding knowledgeable consultants and high-level care promptly is crucial. Cleveland Clinic London’s private nephrology experts offer innovative therapies and compassionate support throughout your treatment journey. Our team will answer your questions and explain what to expect as you move through each phase of your care.

Consultants Who Treat Nephrology
Locations
Our consultants see patients in modern and technologically advanced facilities in the heart of London.Nephrology Services at Cleveland Clinic London
We offer a range of kidney treatments at Cleveland Clinic London. Depending on your diagnosis, you may undergo:
Preoperative assessments
Sometimes, we may recommend surgery to treat your kidney condition. Our nephrology team performs thorough testing before your procedure to make sure your kidneys are healthy enough. This can help prevent complications and optimise treatment results.
Postoperative care
When recovering in hospital after surgery, you’ll see our nephrologists regularly to ensure your recovery is moving forward as it should. If you require dialysis, you’ll have 24/7 access to one of our skilled consultants for support while you are staying with us.
In-hospital dialysis
You may need dialysis to clean your blood if your kidneys are injured or failing. We offer dialysis for both chronic conditions and short-term treatment. With your healthcare provider’s approval, we can also show you how to safely perform dialysis at home for privacy and convenience. At this time, we do not offer outpatient holiday dialysis.
Expanded intermittent haemodialysis
If you’re already on dialysis or develop a need for it while in hospital, we provide haemodialysis in our intensive care unit (ICU) and medical specialties/acute admissions unit. This service is supervised by our team of internationally renowned senior renal consultants. We work in partnership with DaVita® — one of the world’s biggest dialysis providers.
Renal replacement therapy (RRT)
Your care team may recommend renal replacement therapy while you’re in our ICU. This intense form of dialysis continuously cleans your blood when you’re seriously ill or in kidney failure. It can help stabilise your condition and reduce the risk of complications.
