Sunil V. Badve is a nephrologist based in Woolloongabba, Queensland, at Ipswich Road, QLD 4102. Kidney health can affect lots of other parts of the body, and that’s often where the help matters most. Dr Badve works with people who have ongoing kidney problems, as well as issues that can flare up and need quick care.
In many cases, this includes chronic kidney disease and long-term kidney failure, including end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Some patients also need support around kidney transplants, and managing the day-to-day changes that can come with that. He also looks after people with kidney infections and complications, such as peritonitis and secondary peritonitis.
Kidney problems can also show up because of other health conditions. For example, diabetes can affect the kidneys over time, and high or low blood sugar, along with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, can go hand-in-hand with kidney care. He also treats conditions linked to electrolyte and mineral balance, like high or low potassium, hypercalcaemia, and issues related to hyperparathyroidism. Anaemia is another common problem in kidney disease, and it can make people feel tired or washed out.
Other kidney-related conditions in his care can include gout, polycystic kidney disease (including autosomal dominant forms), and different types of kidney inflammation, such as IgA nephropathy, membranous nephropathy, and glomerulonephritis. At times, kidney disease can come with bigger body health concerns too, including heart failure, strokes or TIA, and atrial fibrillation. Blood pressure and nutrition also matter, especially when someone has low blood pressure or low appetite.
