Nephrology patients are now being seen at the Mass General/North Shore Center for Outpatient Care in Danvers.

Kelly Burdge, M.D., is board certified in nephrology and internal medicine. Her clinical interests include hypertension and chronic kidney disease.

Nephrologists specialize in conditions related to the kidneys, including high blood pressure, kidney stones, and chronic kidney disease. They diagnose problems associated with the kidneys and help patients manage their kidney disease. Research has shown that earlier referral to a nephrologist can delay or prevent kidney failure.
