The physicians and staff at New York Kidney Specialists are committed to providing the best quality kidney care available.

What is Nephrology?

Nephrology is a specialty of internal medicine that focuses on the treatment of diseases that affect the kidneys. Your two kidneys are below your ribcage on both sides of your spine. The kidneys have several vital functions, including removing waste and excess fluid from the blood, maintaining your body’s electrolyte balance, and releasing hormones with functions such as managing blood pressure.

Who needs Nephrology?

There are a variety of reasons why you would need to visit a nephrologist. They can work with you to help diagnose and treat many conditions such as kidney stones, kidney failure, blood or protein in the urine. A nephrologist can also be involved when there are other factors causing kidney disease or dysfunction such as medications, high blood pressure, and diabetes. When visiting a nephrologist, they may be involved in performing a variety of tests and procedures including urine analysis, blood tests, and ultrasound scanning.

It should be noted that in this complex, ever-changing field, there are different conditions and treatments between men and women.

Male Urology- Prostate Conditions

The prostate sits below the bladder, partially surrounding the urethra. As a man ages, the prostate can grow in size, leading to disorders such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. We offer a variety of treatments such as radiation therapy, transurethral incision of the prostate, and more.

At New York Health, we provide physical therapy services. Our physical therapy helps treat a variety of different conditions. We provide a specialty program for cancer rehabilitation. Cancer treatment may affect physical, social, psychological, and work-related abilities. Rehabilitation helps people regain these abilities and maintain independence.

When someone is undergoing cancer treatment, physical therapy may not be the first healthcare field that comes to mind. Early cancer treatment is met with oncologists, radiologists, nurses, and surgeons. These healthcare practitioners are essential to the treatment and management of cancer. However, the role of physical therapy should be considered in cancer recovery.

Cancer rehabilitation can help patients reach many goals, such as improving physical strength and activity tolerance and reduce anxiety and depression. We create customized programs to address a wide range of symptoms and diagnoses for each type of cancer. Our experienced team of physical therapists works with individuals to address rehabilitation needs for a variety of conditions including fatigue, joint stiffness, and numbness in feet or hands.

Additionally, our services include treatment lymphedema, which is a condition associated with fluid accumulation in the head, arm, leg, and or trunk. Learn more, here: https://nyhealth.com/physical-therapy/lymphedema-treatment/

New York Health provides surgery for many different conditions, including colorectal surgery. Here are the basics of this procedure:

What is Colorectal Surgery?

Colorectal surgery repairs damage to the lower digestive tract, including the colon, rectum, and anus. Colorectal surgeons, also known as proctologists, are physicians who specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of conditions these conditions.

What are the different types of colorectal surgery?

There many different types of surgery:

• Colostomy – a procedure that creates an opening through the abdomen for the colon. The edges of the abdomen are stitched to the skin creating an opening called the stoma.
• Ileostomy – a procedure that involves removing the colon, anus, and rectum, completely. The lower end of the small intestine then becomes the stoma.
• Ileoanal anastomosis – a new procedure that involves the small intestine is attached directly to the anal canal, bypassing the large intestine.
• What should I expect before and after the surgery?

The evening before surgery, you would need to take a prescribed laxative medicine. This step can decrease your risk of developing an infection from bacteria usually present in the intestine. After your operation, your body needs time to recover from the trauma and adjust to its new state. When you first get home after your operation, plan to have as much rest/sleep as needed It takes a few weeks for most people to go back to regular activity, the exception of any work involving heavy lifting. Listen to your body and do not strain yourself.
