Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. Abbas Rabiei:

What is a Nephrologist?

A nephrologist is a doctor specializing in kidney diseases. They are experts in managing conditions like chronic kidney disease, high blood pressure, and electrolyte imbalances, and provide care for patients on dialysis or who have had a kidney transplant.

What should I expect during my first visit with Dr. Abbas Rabiei?

Your first visit with Dr. Rabiei will involve a comprehensive review of your medical history, a detailed discussion of your kidney-related symptoms, and a physical exam. Please bring a complete list of all medications, and any recent lab results or imaging reports. This will help Dr. Rabiei provide the most accurate and comprehensive care.

Does Dr. Abbas Rabiei accept my insurance?

Insurance acceptance can vary. Please call our office directly with your insurance information to verify coverage for nephrology services before your appointment.

What is glomerulonephritis?

Glomerulonephritis is inflammation of the tiny filters in your kidneys called glomeruli. It can be caused by infections or autoimmune diseases. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, often with immunosuppressive medications.

Is it serious to have protein in my urine?

Persistent protein in your urine can be an early sign of kidney damage, indicating leaky kidney filters. A nephrologist will work to identify the cause and use treatments, often blood pressure medications, to reduce the leakage and protect your kidneys.

I have recurrent kidney stones. How can a nephrologist help?

Dr. Rabiei and our team specialize in preventing kidney stones from recurring. We perform metabolic testing to identify the cause, and then recommend dietary changes, hydration strategies, and potentially medication to reduce the risk of future stones.

Why do I have anemia with my kidney disease?

Kidney disease can cause anemia because the kidneys produce less erythropoietin, a hormone needed to make red blood cells. Our nephrologists manage this with iron supplements and medications that stimulate the production of erythropoietin.

What's the difference between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis?

Hemodialysis cleanses blood using a machine, typically at a dialysis center, while peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of the abdomen to filter blood, often performed at home.
