Annette Y. Wong is a Nephrologist based in Westmead, NSW, Australia. She looks after people with long-term kidney conditions and helps manage day-to-day health while kidney function is being monitored.
Kidney problems can affect more than just kidneys. They can change how your body handles fluid, salts, and blood pressure, and they can make everyday life feel harder at times. Annette works with patients who have autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and other forms of polycystic kidney disease (PKD). These are lifelong conditions, so care often means keeping an eye on changes over time and planning ahead, not just treating one-off issues.
She also cares for people with nephronophthisis, a kidney condition that can begin earlier in life. At times it can be slow to show up, and it can be confusing and stressful for families. Annette’s approach is practical and calm, with a focus on what matters next for health, monitoring, and comfort.
On top of kidney disease, weight can also play a role in health outcomes. Annette works with patients who have obesity, especially when it sits alongside kidney concerns. In many cases, small changes can make a real difference over time. The goal is to support people with clear steps they can manage, while also keeping kidney care in mind.
Across these conditions, Annette’s experience is built around regular clinical review and careful follow-up. She takes time to explain what tests and check-ups are for, and she helps patients understand what can be done at each stage. Education and training are centred on medical care and kidney medicine, with ongoing learning as kidney guidelines and tools change.
For people living with ADPKD, PKD, nephronophthisis, or kidney-related weight issues, having one team that can keep an eye on the full picture can help. Annette is based at Westmead and works with local care teams to support patients through long-term kidney health.
