This extremely busy Division provides comprehensive care for patients with acute and chronic renal diseases. They also provide consultative services for patients with fluid and electrolyte disorders and difficult hypertension problems. The faculty serves a large population of patients with end-stage renal disease and has a large outpatient dialysis service. At Creighton University Medical Center and Bergan Mercy Hospital, the Division maintains a large inpatient service and also provides consultative services. At the Omaha Veterans Administration Medical Center, the Division provides consultative services, helps staff the Critical Care Unit and conducts very busy outpatient clinics. The faculty shares responsibility for the management of renal transplant patients. Resident Involvement: Though this rotation is very busy, it remains extremely popular with the residents. Each resident rotates through the Division twice. During their first year, residents are assigned to the inpatient service at Creighton University Medical Center. Second year residents will rotate through the service again at either Creighton University Medical Center or the Omaha Veterans Administration Medical Center. The rotation is also popular with senior medical students who elect to be on the service. The Division of Nephrology has frequently received the annual award for excellence in teaching from the residents. |
