Understanding Kidney Health

Your kidneys do much more than filter waste and excess fluid from your blood. They also help regulate blood pressure, maintain the body’s fluid and electrolyte balance, support red blood cell production, and keep your bones healthy.

​

Because kidney disease can progress without noticeable symptoms, early detection and careful monitoring are essential.

 

Our clinic provides personalized, evidence-based care designed to protect kidney function, manage associated health conditions, and slow the progression of chronic kidney disease

Expert Care to Protect Your Kidney Health

Your kidneys are essential for filtering waste, removing excess fluid, regulating blood pressure, and maintaining the body’s electrolyte balance. Because kidney disease often develops without noticeable symptoms, early detection and ongoing medical care are important for protecting kidney function and preventing complications.

Dr. Rene Garcia is board-certified in Internal Medicine and fellowship-trained in Nephrology and Hypertension at the University of Miami. He provides personalized, evidence-based care focused on the prevention, evaluation, and long-term management of chronic kidney disease.

Chronic Kidney Disease Management

We provide comprehensive kidney-function monitoring and individualized treatment plans designed to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease, manage related conditions, reduce complications, and preserve quality of life. 

Microscopic Hematuria of Suspected Renal Origin

Careful evaluation of persistent microscopic blood in the urine to identify possible kidney-related causes. Testing, monitoring, and referrals are coordinated as appropriate to ensure a thorough assessment and timely follow-up.

CKD-Related Anemia

Diagnosis and treatment of anemia related to chronic kidney disease, including iron optimization and medication management.

Proteinuria and Albuminuria

Comprehensive evaluation and monitoring of protein or albumin in the urine—often an early sign of kidney damage. We identify possible causes and develop a personalized treatment plan to protect kidney function and reduce cardiovascular risk.

Recurrent Kidney Stones

Thorough evaluation for patients with recurring kidney stones, including metabolic testing and individualized recommendations involving hydration, nutrition, medications, and ongoing monitoring to help prevent future stones.

Electrolyte and Acid–Base Disorders

Evaluation and management of sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, and other electrolyte abnormalities associated with kidney disease. Care is tailored to restore balance, address underlying causes, and reduce the risk of complications.

Advanced CKD and Kidney-Failure Planning

Compassionate, individualized care for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. We provide education and shared decision-making regarding dialysis options, transplant evaluation, and conservative kidney management, helping patients and their families prepare confidently for the future.

Hypertension Associated With Kidney Disease

Personalized management of high blood pressure related to chronic kidney disease. Our goal is to achieve appropriate blood pressure control, preserve kidney function, and reduce the risk of heart and vascular complications.

Polycystic Kidney Disease

Personalized monitoring and long-term management of inherited polycystic kidney disease. Care focuses on preserving kidney function, controlling blood pressure, assessing disease progression, and identifying potential complications early.

CKD Related Anemia

Comprehensive care for bone and mineral changes in chronic kidney disease, focusing on calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D balance.

Diabetic Kidney Disease

Personalized care for kidney disease caused by diabetes, with close monitoring of kidney function, urine protein, blood pressure, and blood glucose control. Treatment focuses on protecting kidney function, reducing cardiovascular risk, and slowing disease progression.

Follow-Up After Acute Kidney Injury

Timely follow-up after hospitalization for acute kidney injury to assess kidney recovery, review and adjust medications, monitor laboratory results, and reduce the risk of recurrent injury or progression to chronic kidney disease.

Take the Next Step for Your Kidney Health
