Kidney Care

Osler is host to both the Regional Chronic Kidney Disease Program for the Central West LHIN, and Ontario’s first Regional Kidney Wellness Centre. Along with our health and community care partners, we offer everything from early diagnosis and treatment, through to dialysis, and preparation for kidney transplants and dual kidney/pancreas transplants.

Kidney Care Clinic

The main goals of this clinic are to slow the progression of the kidney disease and prevent other associated health problems from occurring.

Services include:

Helping patients understand their treatment options and make choices that best fit their lifestyle
Psychosocial support and palliative care for patients with End Stage Kidney Disease (ESRD) who choose not to have renal replacement therapies or a kidney transplant.
Pre-emptive transplant options (kidney transplant before going on dialysis) are explored with the patient as appropriate.
