About of Anna Francis

Anna Francis is a Nephrologist based in Brisbane, QLD, Australia. She looks after people who have kidney problems and the health issues that can come with them. Kidney care can be a big deal day to day, so her approach is practical and focused on getting the right treatment moving forward.

Anna works with patients dealing with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). She also cares for people with conditions like glomerulonephritis and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), which can affect how the kidneys filter waste from the blood. When fluid balance, protein levels, or blood pressure are off, it can change how someone feels and what they can do. In many cases, she helps guide care for things like nephrotic syndrome and hypertension too.

Kidney transplants are another important part of the work. For people who are considering a transplant, or who are preparing for long-term kidney treatment, the process can be stressful. Anna helps support patients through the medical side of transplant care and the planning that goes with it.

She also sees people with more complex or less common situations, including anaphylaxis and rare presentations involving the kidneys. At times, her referrals include other serious conditions as well, such as primary lymphoma of the brain, where kidney health still needs careful attention as part of the overall picture.

In terms of experience, Anna’s practice centres on real-world kidney conditions, from earlier stages of CKD through to ESRD, and the ongoing decisions that come with them. Education details aren’t listed on this page, but her work sits within nephrology care and kidney medicine.

No research focus or clinical trial details are provided here. If that’s something you want to know before booking, it’s best to check directly with the clinic for the most up-to-date information.
