Poh-yi Y. Gan is a nephrologist based in Clayton, VIC, at 246 Clayton Rd, Clayton, VIC 3168, Australia. Kidney health can be hard to deal with, especially when symptoms come on suddenly or keep coming back. Dr Gan helps people understand what’s going on and works with them on the next steps for care.
As a kidney specialist, Dr Gan looks after adults and families with conditions that affect the filtering parts of the kidneys. This can include glomerulonephritis, Goodpasture syndrome, and vasculitis. These issues can show up as things like blood in the urine, protein in the urine, swelling, tiredness, and changes in kidney function. At times, they can also affect other parts of the body, so the whole picture matters.
Dr Gan also helps with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and other longer-term kidney problems. In many cases, treatment is about slowing down damage, keeping fluid and blood pressure under control, and reducing flare-ups. The goal is to help patients stay as well as they can, for as long as possible.
Kidney disease doesn’t always sit in isolation. Some immune conditions can be linked with lung and breathing problems too. Dr Gan’s work includes conditions such as interstitial lung disease and acute interstitial pneumonia, along with asthma. This is important when symptoms overlap, like coughing, breathlessness, or abnormal scans. Care often needs close coordination between kidney specialists, respiratory teams, and other doctors involved.
For people who have had a kidney transplant, ongoing kidney care is a big part of staying stable. Dr Gan helps manage transplant-related kidney issues and monitors changes over time, so medicines and health checks stay on track.
Experience and education details aren’t listed in this profile, but Dr Gan’s role as a nephrologist is focused on careful assessment and practical treatment planning for kidney and related immune conditions. Research involvement is also not listed here. Clinical trials are not shown on this profile either, so if that’s something you’re considering, it’s best to ask the clinic directly.
