Nephrology

Nephrology notes across clinic and dialysis

CKD progression, dialysis rounds, transplant follow-up — ScribeMDPro produces the note where you work.

Nephrology practices split their time between outpatient CKD management, dialysis rounding and transplant follow-up — each with distinct documentation needs. CKD visits require careful tracking of eGFR trend, proteinuria, blood pressure control and mineral bone disease. Dialysis rounds are brief, high-volume and require access assessment, dry weight review and lab review per patient. Transplant follow-up carries immunosuppression management. ScribeMDPro was configured with distinct templates for each and the clinical model was tuned on nephrology transcripts to recognize CKD-specific vocabulary and transplant medication regimens.

Documentation challenges we solve

  • CKD progression tracking requires trending eGFR and proteinuria across visits
  • Dialysis rounding is high-volume and needs efficient per-patient documentation
  • Transplant follow-up involves complex immunosuppression tracking
  • Mineral bone disease management crosses several medication categories

What clinicians gain

  • CKD template with eGFR trend and proteinuria capture
  • Dialysis rounding template optimized for brief per-patient documentation
  • Transplant template with immunosuppression regimen tracking
  • Mineral bone disease captured with calcium, phosphorus, PTH and vitamin D

How it works

  1. Step 1
    Start ambient capture

    Open ScribeMDPro before the nephrology encounter and start recording — the patient never has to talk to a device.

  2. Step 2
    Focus on the patient

    Conduct your normal history and exam. Round or review naturally — the AI selects a CKD, dialysis or transplant template as appropriate.

  3. Step 3
    Auto-drafted note

    A structured SOAP note appears seconds after the visit ends, formatted for your specialty.

  4. Step 4
    Review, sign, export

    Edit inline, copy to your EMR, download as PDF, or push through supported integrations.

Example SOAP output

S: 66yo M with CKD stage 4 secondary to diabetic nephropathy and HTN. On lisinopril 40mg, empagliflozin 10mg, atorvastatin 40mg. No new symptoms. Fatigue stable.
O: BP 132/78, wt stable. Labs: eGFR 22 (was 24), UPCR 850, K 4.6, HCO3 22, hemoglobin 10.8.
A: 1) CKD 4, slowly progressive. 2) Anemia of CKD. 3) Metabolic acidosis, mild.
P: 1) Continue lisinopril and empagliflozin. 2) Start sodium bicarbonate 650mg TID for acidosis. 3) Iron studies. 4) Nephrology transplant referral discussed. RTC 3 months.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work at the dialysis unit?

Yes. Dialysis rounding uses an abbreviated template optimized for brief, per-patient documentation.

Can it document transplant follow-up?

Transplant visits are supported with immunosuppression regimen tracking and rejection surveillance.

How does it handle mineral bone disease?

Calcium, phosphorus, PTH and vitamin D are captured as structured fields for trend review.

What about vascular access assessment?

Access exam findings and any planned intervention are captured for each dialysis patient.
