Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Care at Kidney MD

Expert, early, and personalized care to help you protect your kidneys

​

Chronic kidney disease is common, especially in individuals with diabetes, hypertension, lupus, recurrent kidney stones, and APOL1-associated kidney disease. But with the right specialist and a proactive plan, CKD does not have to lead to rapid decline or dialysis.

​

At Kidney MD in Catonsville, Maryland, we focus on early diagnosis, slowing progression, and helping you understand exactly why your kidney function changed. We proudly serve patients across Catonsville, Ellicott City, Columbia, Arbutus, Halethorpe, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Howard County, and nearby Maryland communities.

​

Why Kidney MD Makes a Difference in CKD Care

​

1. We address the root cause — not just the lab numbers

CKD is not one disease. Whether your kidney changes are related to diabetic kidney disease, hypertension-related injury, lupus nephritis, APOL1-associated risk, or other factors, early targeted therapy slows progression dramatically.

If you’re unsure why your kidneys changed, our educational resources — including information on diabetes-related kidney disease, blood pressure and kidney health, and the metabolic factors that affect kidney function — help you understand your personal risk.

​

 

2. Early intervention to preserve kidney function

Most patients have no symptoms early on. Many only learn something is wrong after routine labs.

Our guides on what CKD is, how CKD affects daily life, and how to interpret changes in eGFR help patients understand their diagnosis without fear.

​

3. Comprehensive kidney + metabolic care in one clinic

Kidney health is deeply connected to blood pressure, diabetes, weight, and cardiovascular risk.

By integrating metabolic and nephrology care, we help patients see improvements not only in their kidney labs, but also in energy, blood pressure, inflammation, and long-term metabolic health.

Our guides on safe medications, hydration, and kidney-friendly nutrition support day-to-day decision-making for patients who want to protect their kidney function.

​

4. Clear explanations so you always know what your labs mean

Understanding trends — especially protein in the urine, changes in eGFR, and how often labs should be monitored — empowers patients to take control of their health.

​

5. A plan designed for your lifestyle

From sodium and hydration goals to safe OTC medications, weight management, and metabolic support, your plan is individualized and achievable — not a generic handout.

Our lifestyle resources help support real-world changes that matter most for kidney health.

Our Priority: Keep You Stable and Dialysis-Free

​

Most CKD patients never need dialysis — especially when the cause of kidney disease is identified early and the right therapies are started. Whether your CKD is linked to diabetes, high blood pressure, lupus, or obesity, we aim to slow progression, stabilize kidney function, and keep you healthy for the long term.

​

Who We Care For

​

We welcome patients with:

• Early or newly diagnosed CKD

• Declining eGFR or rising creatinine

• Diabetes, hypertension, lupus, or APOL1-related risk

• Proteinuria or albuminuria

Whether you live in Catonsville, Columbia, Ellicott City, Arbutus, Halethorpe, Baltimore, Howard County, or surrounding Maryland areas, timely kidney care makes a measurable difference.
