Q: Do I need a referral to book at Renal Clinic?

Appointments can be arranged either by referral from a doctor or by direct booking through the enquiry form on our contact page.

What we do at Renal Clinic

Renal Clinic provides specialist kidney care in Pretoria East. Our work centres on nephrology consultations, chronic kidney disease follow-up, dialysis planning and in-centre haemodialysis for practice patients. Appointments can be made by referral from a doctor or by direct booking through the enquiry form on our contact page.

We work with adults who need assessment, review or ongoing follow-up for kidney-related concerns. Some patients come to us after recent blood or urine tests, some are sent by a GP or another specialist, and some attend because they need structured follow-up over time. The specialist decides on care only after seeing the patient, reviewing the history and considering the information available.

The patients we see

Our practice serves patients from Pretoria East as well as the wider Pretoria and Centurion areas. Some people come for a once-off specialist opinion, while others need regular review and continuity over months or longer. Family members are often involved in appointments, especially when planning and routine support are important.

We also see patients who need clearer coordination between the specialist, the GP and other treating doctors. Kidney care can involve several moving parts, so we aim to keep the process organised and understandable. Where there are urgent symptoms or a medical emergency, patients should go straight to the nearest emergency unit rather than wait for a routine appointment.

How our team works together

Renal Clinic works as a coordinated practice rather than a collection of separate services. The kidney specialist leads medical decision-making, including assessment, follow-up planning and any changes in direction after review. Nursing staff support day-to-day clinical care in the dialysis setting and help patients understand the practical flow of visits.

Our administrative team handles enquiries, appointment bookings and general practice coordination. They guide patients on the next step, explain what information is helpful before a visit, and assist with scheduling where follow-up is needed. Clinical and administrative roles stay closely linked so that messages, documents and appointment arrangements do not get lost between steps which matters when care is ongoing.

Our Pretoria East premises

Our premises are set up for specialist consultations and in-centre dialysis in one practice environment. This allows clinical review and treatment planning to happen in a familiar setting, with a team that already knows the patient's history and current arrangements. For patients and relatives travelling across Pretoria or from Centurion, having care centred in one location can make ongoing visits simpler.

We aim to keep the practice calm, practical and easy to navigate. Patients can use the contact page to send an enquiry before attending, and the team will advise on the booking route and what should be prepared ahead of the visit. Because every patient's situation is different, the exact process may vary a bit from one person to the next.

From first enquiry to follow-up

The process usually starts with an enquiry through our contact page. From there, the administrative team helps with booking, whether the patient is coming by referral or arranging a direct appointment. If there are referral notes or previous test results, these may be requested before the consultation so the specialist has a clearer starting point.

At the first visit, the specialist assesses the patient's history, current concerns and available records. Any next steps are discussed after that review, and follow-up is arranged according to the patient's needs. For some people this means periodic specialist review, while for others it may include planning for dialysis or attending in-centre haemodialysis as a practice patient.

Clear communication and ongoing support

Kidney care often involves repeat appointments and careful coordination, so we place value on clear communication. We explain the practical side of attending the practice, what the next appointment is for, and how follow-up is arranged. When patients are also seeing a GP or another doctor, our team works to support that shared care approach in an organised way.

We do not give general treatment instructions that replace an individual consultation. The specialist decides on care after seeing the patient and considering the full clinical picture. If a patient becomes acutely unwell or there is an emergency, the right step is to go to the nearest emergency unit.
