Martin J. Wolley is a nephrologist based in Brisbane, working from 288 Herston Road, Brisbane, QLD 4006, Australia. Kidney health can affect lots of parts of the body, not just the kidneys. That’s why his clinic takes a practical, whole-picture approach when people come in with kidney disease or related hormone problems.
Nephrology covers more than “just kidney tests”. Martin looks after people with long-term kidney conditions such as chronic kidney disease, polycystic kidney disease, and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. He also supports people who are moving through later stages of kidney disease, including end-stage renal disease (ESRD). At times, kidney problems link up with blood pressure issues, fluid balance, and other changes you can feel day to day.
He also sees patients where adrenal gland or hormone disorders are part of the picture. That can include hyperaldosteronism and familial hyperaldosteronism, where the body makes extra aldosterone and blood pressure can be harder to control. Martin also manages conditions such as Cushing’s syndrome and adrenal gland adenoma, and he can be involved in care for adrenal cancer. Hypertension is a common reason people seek review, especially when it doesn’t settle with usual treatment.
In addition, he helps manage less common kidney-related conditions. Primary hyperoxaluria (including Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1) can lead to kidney stones and ongoing kidney strain, so early, careful planning matters. Vitamin D deficiency is also something he addresses, since it can link in with bone health and overall wellbeing. Depending on the situation, kidney issues can come alongside other concerns too, such as jaundice or secondary immunodeficiency (SID).
Martin has completed medical training and specialist nephrology education, and keeps learning through ongoing professional development. He aims to explain what’s going on in plain language, talk through the options, and work with other health professionals when needed. If a patient’s condition is complex, care is usually about steady follow-up, clear monitoring, and making sure treatment fits what’s happening for that person.
