Nephrology is the medical specialty that deals with kidneys, especially their functions and diseases. You may also hear the word "renal" (from the Latin "renes" for kidney) to refer to the kidney. Your kidneys serve several vital functions, including removing waste from the body in the form of urine; filtering toxins from the blood and helping to regulate blood pressure and other important nutrients including potassium and calcium.

Board-certified nephrologists at Southern NH Nephrology and Hypertension provide exceptional care for adult patients with kidney disease and kidney-related conditions. Through our partnership with DaVita Healthcare Nashua, we also provide chronic renal (kidney) dialysis services.
