Angela P. Makris is a Nephrologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. Her work focuses on the kidneys and also on how kidney health links in with other body systems, especially during pregnancy.
In many cases, people see a nephrologist when blood pressure is running high or when kidney function needs closer care. Angela looks after adults and families who are dealing with long-term kidney problems, including chronic kidney disease. She also helps manage inflammation and scarring in the kidneys, such as glomerulonephritis and IgA nephropathy, plus interstitial nephritis at times.
Kidney health can be extra important in pregnancy. Angela supports care for conditions that can affect both mother and baby, including preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome. She also works with people who have high blood pressure during pregnancy, and those with complications like intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and intrauterine growth restriction. Gestational diabetes is another pregnancy-related issue that may come up alongside kidney and circulation concerns.
Blood pressure isn’t only for adults either. Angela also looks after high blood pressure in infants. This can be a worrying time for families, so care often needs to be steady and clear, with a focus on safe next steps.
At times, kidney conditions sit alongside other medical issues. Angela may be involved when there are problems like cholestasis, necrosis, or arteriovenous malformation. Sleep breathing issues are also part of her listed scope, including obstructive sleep apnoea and central sleep apnoea, which can overlap with blood pressure and overall health.
Angela’s practice is located in Sydney. If you’re trying to understand what’s going on with your kidneys, your blood pressure, or a pregnancy complication, she can help guide the discussion around diagnosis and ongoing management.
