He has always believed in affordable, equitable kidney care for all patients with kidney disease.

Check Your Kidney Risk in Two Minutes

Chronic kidney disease is usually silent in its early stages — most people have no symptoms until a large share of kidney function is already lost. Our risk calculator asks about your age, health history and a few optional measurements, then estimates your chance of developing moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease over the next 1–10 years.

  • Takes about two minutes
  • Runs entirely in your browser
  • Nothing is stored or sent to us
  • Bring the result to your GP
Open the Risk Calculator Call 0426 490 054

What the calculator asks

  • Your age, sex and ethnicity
  • Smoking status and family history of kidney disease
  • Diabetes, blood pressure treatment and related conditions
  • Optionally: height, weight and a recent blood pressure reading

This is an educational estimate, not a diagnosis and not a substitute for testing. Only a blood and urine test can show how your kidneys are actually working — please discuss any result with your GP or with A/Prof Venuthurupalli.

How to Book

Booking Your Appointment

Three simple steps — and our practice manager Padmaja will guide you through all of them over the phone if anything is unclear.

  2. Book your appointment

    Call 0426 490 054 or send an enquiry and we'll call you back. We'll book you into whichever of our five clinics is closest to home and confirm the address and directions.

  3. What to bring

    Your referral letter, Medicare and any concession cards, a list of current medications, and recent blood or urine test results and kidney imaging if you have them.

Fees & Medicare

Sree started this practice on the belief that specialist kidney care should be affordable and equitable. Medicare rebates apply to consultations with a valid referral, and we confirm the exact fee and your rebate when you book — so there are no surprises on the day. If cost is a concern, please raise it with us; we will always work with you.
