Fluid buildup from conditions like heart failure or nephrotic syndrome can cause swelling, shortness of breath, and rapid weight gain. Diuretics—also known as “water pills”—such as furosemide (Lasix), bumetanide (Bumex), and torsemide (Demadex) help your body remove excess fluid and relieve these symptoms. At Kidney MD, we create personalized diuretic plans tailored to your needs, carefully monitoring kidney function and electrolytes to ensure safe, effective treatment.
Because fluid overload can happen quickly, we offer quick access with same-day appointments to manage symptoms early and help prevent hospitalizations. Prompt care not only improves comfort but also protects your heart and kidneys over the long term.

We offer the NEPH Plan (Nurturing Excellence in Personalized Health), a membership program designed for non–Medicare Part B patients (who will continue to be treated according to CMS guidelines). This plan emphasizes frequent virtual and in-person visits to help prevent fluid buildup and reduce hospitalizations. It also includes personalized nutrition support, case-by-case provision of relevant medical equipment, and remote monitoring when needed.
