Elaine M. Pascoe is a Nephrologist working out of Level 5, 37 Kent Street, Woolloongabba, QLD 4102. Her role is to look after people with kidney and urine system problems, and to help manage long-term health issues that can affect everyday life.
In many cases, people see a nephrologist when their kidneys are not working as they should. Elaine focuses on chronic kidney disease and the changes that can come with it over time. This can include issues like low blood pressure, ongoing fatigue and weakness, and problems linked to fluid balance and blood counts.
She also helps when more serious kidney conditions develop. That can include glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, and gout that’s connected to kidney function. For some people, care may extend to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), including planning and support around kidney transplant care and longer-term management.
Elaine’s care extends beyond the kidneys themselves. At times, kidney problems can go along with infections and stomach or gut symptoms, such as urinary tract infections (UTI), pneumonia, and sepsis. She also supports people dealing with peritonitis and secondary peritonitis, which can be serious and need prompt, steady treatment. Other medical issues she works with include arteriovenous malformation, nephrectomy-related follow-up, anemia, malnutrition, and reflux problems such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including reflux in infants.
Living with kidney disease can be stressful, especially when symptoms flare up or treatment changes. Elaine aims to keep things clear and practical, so people understand what’s happening and what the next steps might be. She looks after both the day-to-day side of kidney health and the bigger picture, when complications need extra support.
Overall, if your kidney condition is complex or ongoing, Elaine Pascoe provides focused specialist care for issues like chronic kidney disease, infections, and kidney function changes, in a Woolloongabba clinic setting.
