Kidney Disease and Multi-Organ Failure Care: Why Choose Vanderbilt?
- Personalized care
We tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique needs and health goals. We help you navigate your treatment options to ensure you receive the best possible care.
- Collaborative care
We work with experts in heart, liver and lung failure and any other specialists necessary, depending on your condition. Together we can quickly adjust your treatment if you need different medication, for example, or if your condition changes.
- Innovative research
Our doctors not only apply the latest knowledge to your care, but also pioneer innovative treatments. A team at Vanderbilt and the University of California at San Francisco is developing an implantable artificial kidney, aiming to eliminate the need for dialysis or kidney transplant.
- Second opinions
A second opinion can help you make the best health decisions. We review your medical history, diagnostic tests, any previous treatments and your personal preferences to give you an informed opinion.
