Our health is determined by many organ functions that are closely interlinked. The kidneys and blood pressure—i.e., nephrology—play an important role here, as they determine how our blood vessels age. Disorders of kidney function and blood pressure, as well as premature vascular aging, are very common. This is because the circulatory system and its functions are sensitive to conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, inflammation, and many medications.
However, you don't notice when your kidneys are weak, and routine lab tests only reveal this when 50% of kidney function has been lost. You also don't feel high blood pressure, which is what makes it so dangerous. Unnoticed, blood vessels age faster, and this is the main risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. One in three people in our country is affected by high blood pressure.
We offer professional kidney checks and high blood pressure checks, during which we can also determine the biological age of your blood vessels using non-invasive pulse wave analysis. This enables us to identify problems early on so that measures can be taken in good time to prevent long-term damage. I also keep an eye on the immune system.
In my practice, as an experienced internist and specialist in kidney disease, high blood pressure, and rheumatism, I personally take care of your medical problems. You, as a person, are the focus of my attention.
