Michigan Kidney Consultants

What Michigan Kidney Consultants does

Michigan Kidney Consultants, P.C. is a private physician-owned professional corporation headquartered in Troy, Michigan, operating as the largest board-certified nephrology group in Michigan. The practice employs 25 board-certified nephrologists and 17+ nurse practitioners across 16 office locations spanning Southeast Michigan, including the greater Detroit metropolitan area. Service lines encompass general nephrology consultations, in-center and home dialysis (hemodialysis and peritoneal), kidney transplantation evaluation and follow-up, kidney biopsy, dialysis vascular access procedures, renal nutrition, care management, remote patient monitoring, and a Glomerulonephritis Subspecialty Clinic launched in December 2025.

The practice generates revenue on a fee-for-service basis from office visits, dialysis treatments, kidney biopsies, and ambulatory surgery center procedures, accepting Medicare and most major insurance plans. Technology infrastructure is anchored by an Acumen nEHR electronic health record with a MyChart patient portal, a HIPAA-compliant physician referral portal, MayaMD-powered remote patient monitoring and principal care management, and a clinical research department in Pontiac that has conducted 50+ Phase 1-4 trials since 2001 as Principal Investigator. Two AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery centers (Southfield and Starrwood/Royal Oak) operate in partnership with RMS Lifeline for same-day dialysis vascular access. The practice holds Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) designation from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.

Customer acquisition is sales-led, relying on physician referrals (via the referral portal), self-referrals through online appointment requests, and direct patient contact. The practice maintains affiliations with four major transplant centers (William Beaumont, University of Michigan, St. John, Henry Ford) and partnerships with Strive Health (patient support and education), MayaMD (remote monitoring), and Lifeline Vascular Care (vascular access education). Operational and clinical leadership is physician-led, with Dr. Fahd M. Al-Saghir as President and Dr. Jamal Abukhaled as Founder/Director of the Glomerulonephritis Subspecialty Clinic.
