Your kidneys are the unsung heroes of your body, working tirelessly to filter waste, balance fluids, and regulate blood pressure. When kidney function changes, your overall health can be affected. Cleveland Clinic in Florida provides comprehensive kidney care for people at every stage of kidney health, whether you’re addressing early concerns or managing advanced disease and transplant needs.
Kidney disease is more common than you think
More than one in seven adults in the United States, or about 35 million people, are estimated to have chronic kidney disease. Most do not know they have it because early kidney disease is often silent. In fact, nine out of ten adults with chronic kidney disease are not aware of it.
The condition is more common in people with diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease. It also occurs more often in older adults and those with a family history of kidney disease. Symptoms such as swelling, fatigue, or changes in urine can develop later, but they are not always reliable signals. This is why regular checkups matter.
Experts who focus on kidney health
At Cleveland Clinic in Florida, our kidney doctors, called nephrologists, help patients catch kidney problems early. We review your history, listen to your concerns, and use advanced tests to check how well your kidneys are working. This helps us guide care for a wide range of kidney issues, including high blood pressure, kidney stones, inherited kidney disorders, and chronic kidney disease.
Management depends on the stage and the needs of each patient. Treatment may include medication adjustments, nutrition support, lifestyle guidance, and close monitoring of kidney function. When kidney disease becomes advanced, we help patients plan for next steps, including evaluation for transplant when appropriate.
Advanced care you can count on
For patients who need dialysis or transplant care, Cleveland Clinic provides coordinated support. Our nephrology and transplant teams work together to help patients prepare for treatment and stay healthy after surgery.

Many steps can protect kidney health, such as drinking enough water, managing blood pressure, and staying active.
