ABOUT US
Meet Our Nephrology Clinic
We established Southern California Kidney Consultants Inc. in January 2018 when Orange County Renal Medical Group and Nephrology Medical Group came together to establish the largest nephrology practice in Orange County. Orange County Renal and Nephrology Medical Group had been providing care to all types of patients with kidney disease for over 40 years.
​
Now, So Cal Kidney continues the tradition of providing high-quality care while maintaining an intimate clinical relationship with our patients. Today, we have six clinic locations and have affiliations with numerous hospitals and dialysis clinics throughout most of Orange County.

Providing The Best Possible Care for Patients With Chronic Kidney Conditions
Acute and Chronic
Kidney Disease
Autoimmune
Kidney Disease
Diabetic Kidney
Disease
Acute and chronic kidney disease are conditions that affect the kidneys' ability to function properly. Acute kidney disease is a sudden decline in kidney function, often reversible with prompt treatment. Chronic kidney disease is a progressive condition that causes long-term kidney damage. Both conditions require medical attention for diagnosis and management to minimize complications.
Autoimmune kidney disease is a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the kidneys, causing inflammation and damage. It can lead to impaired kidney function and various symptoms. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing the disease and preserving kidney health
Diabetic kidney disease is a complication of diabetes that affects the kidneys. It is characterized by damage to the blood vessels and filters in the kidneys, leading to impaired kidney function. Early detection and proper management are vital to prevent further kidney damage.
Difficult to Control
Hypertension
Electrolyte
Abnormalities
Glomerulonephritis
Difficult to control hypertension refers to high blood pressure that is challenging to manage despite multiple treatment attempts. It can pose increased risks to cardiovascular health and requires specialized care to achieve blood pressure control. Expert evaluation, personalized treatment plans, and lifestyle modifications are essential in managing this condition effectively.
Electrolyte abnormalities refer to imbalances in the levels of essential minerals in the body, such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. These imbalances can disrupt various bodily functions and lead to health complications. Prompt identification, accurate diagnosis, and appropriate management are crucial to restore electrolyte balance and maintain overall well-being.
Glomerulonephritis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli, which are tiny filters in the kidneys. It can be caused by various factors, including infections, autoimmune disorders, and certain medications. Glomerulonephritis can lead to kidney damage and impaired function. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential in managing the condition and preserving kidney health.
Home Dialysis
Kidney Transplant
Kidney Stones
Home dialysis enables individuals with kidney failure to receive dialysis treatments in the comfort of their own homes. It offers flexibility and convenience while providing effective removal of waste products and excess fluids from the body. Home dialysis options include peritoneal dialysis and home hemodialysis, offering a personalized approach to meet the unique needs of patients. With appropriate training and support, individuals can gain more independence and maintain a higher quality of life while managing their kidney disease.
Kidney transplant is a surgical procedure where a healthy kidney from a donor is transplanted into a recipient with kidney failure. It is a treatment option for individuals whose kidneys can no longer function adequately. Kidney transplantation offers the potential for improved quality of life, decreased reliance on dialysis, and better long-term outcomes. It requires careful evaluation, matching, and post-transplant monitoring to ensure a successful transplantation and long-term organ function.
Kidney stones are small, hard mineral and salt deposits that form in the kidneys. They can cause severe pain and discomfort when they pass through the urinary tract. Effective management involves pain relief, increased fluid intake, and sometimes medical intervention to break up or remove the stones. Lifestyle changes and dietary adjustments may also be recommended to prevent future stone formation.
Outpatient Dialysis
Hypertensive Kidney Disease
Outpatient dialysis provides kidney failure patients the opportunity to receive dialysis treatments outside of a hospital setting. It allows individuals to undergo dialysis sessions in specialized clinics or centers while maintaining their daily activities. Outpatient dialysis offers convenience, flexibility, and personalized care to help manage kidney disease effectively and improve quality of life.
Hypertensive kidney disease refers to kidney damage caused by long-standing high blood pressure. It can lead to impaired kidney function and other complications. Effective blood pressure control, lifestyle modifications, and medical management are crucial in preventing further kidney damage and maintaining overall kidney health.
