CyberNephrology is a team of physicians, allied renal personnel and business leaders that is trying to make the transition to technology easier for renal physicians and their staff, trying to take advantage of existing technology tools, expand the network of global physicians through the Internet, and create a patient education enterprise.
Chronic illness can be overwhelming.
For patients and families the communication resources we have created can greatly diminish feelings of isolation and helplessness by providing emotional strength and practical knowledge. After nearly two decades of seeing patients with end stage renal disease, it is apparent that much of what we deal with can be delayed or prevented altogether. Several medical trials and innovations in the last several years have confirmed these observations, and form the basis of this site. A major element in preventing renal illness is simply early detection, and for this one needs education. As the Internet expands and becomes more and more a tool of everyday life, we will have the ability to access and distribute information like no other generation before us.
