Glomerular Diseases Clinic

Specialized Care at the RMA Glomerular Diseases Clinic

At the Glomerular and Genetic Diseases Clinic, we specialize in treating inflammatory and genetic conditions that significantly impact individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). These diseases can directly affect the kidneys or be associated with systemic disorders such as cancer, infections, and autoimmune diseases. While the relationship between genetic and environmental factors is complex and not fully understood, glomerular diseases disproportionately affect Hispanic and Indian populations, making the Southwest region, including New Mexico, particularly vulnerable.

50 Years of Leading Kidney and Glomerular Disease Care in New Mexico

Renal Medicine Associates has been New Mexico's leading provider of kidney care for the past 50 years. Leveraging our extensive experience and deep understanding of the community's needs, we have developed a state-of-the-art center for evaluating and treating glomerular diseases. Our clinic is staffed with highly qualified professionals committed to excellence. We offer subspecialized expertise, access to the latest clinical trials, and cutting-edge diagnostic approaches to ensure the best health outcomes.
