About

Dr Christine Somerville is a Nephrologist. Nephrology, also known as renal medicine, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases and disorders.
Common kidney problems that a Nephrologist addresses include acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, kidney stones, urinary tract infections, blood in the urine (hematuria), and protein in the urine (proteinuria). The kidneys play a vital role in maintaining overall health, and seeking specialised care from a Nephrologist like Dr Christine Somerville is essential for effectively managing these conditions.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
