Nephrology
Nephrology focuses on understanding and managing diseases of the kidneys. We focus on chronic kidney disease (CKD), which affects an estimated 37 million people in the U.S., and hyperphosphatemia, defined by elevated phosphorus levels.
Gastroenterology
Gastroenterology centers on understanding, diagnosing, and treating disorders of the digestive system. Irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) is part of the broader IBS spectrum that impacts roughly 6.1% of the U.S. adult population.
