Top 3 End-Stage Renal Disease Related Services Clinics in Jordan 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

End-stage kidney disease is the stage at which the kidneys can no longer clear waste, balance fluids and regulate salts well enough to keep the body safe. Treatment then replaces kidney function. Options include dialysis, transplantation, or supportive conservative care for people for whom neither is appropriate. The decision is not based on a laboratory number alone. It rests on symptoms, overall health and your own choice, made after your nephrologist explains each option clearly.

Book a nephrology visit promptly if you have a known kidney condition and notice swelling in the feet, legs or face, passing much less urine than usual, persistent tiredness, itching, loss of appetite or nausea, or blood pressure that is hard to control. People with diabetes or long-standing high blood pressure should ask their doctor about regular kidney checks.

Call 911 straight away, rather than waiting for a clinic appointment, if you have chest pain or severe breathlessness, confusion, extreme drowsiness or fainting, heavy bleeding that will not stop, or fever with shaking, redness or discharge at a dialysis catheter or access site.

How to choose among the clinics here

Start with the service you need among the End-Stage Renal Disease Related Services Clinics in Jordan listed here. The Dr Ismaeel Qatash Nephrology Clinic is a single-physician nephrology practice that lists dialysis patient follow-up and kidney transplant consultation among its services. The Abdali and Khalda clinics are multi-specialty outpatient settings, where nephrology sits alongside cardiology, gastroenterology, oncology or rheumatology. A multi-specialty setting can suit someone with several conditions that need coordinating. A focused practice may suit someone who mainly needs kidney follow-up.

Check the named nephrologist. The Abdali profile lists Bisher Kawar and Hiba Barghouthi. The Khalda profile lists Mohammad Walid Abu Zineh. The Fifth Circle profile names Ismaeel Qatash. Ask which doctor you will see and whether your follow-up will stay with the same team.

Compare hours and location. The Abdali and Khalda clinics show Saturday to Thursday, 10:00 to 17:00. The Fifth Circle clinic shows Saturday to Wednesday, 10:00 to 16:00, and Thursday, 10:00 to 15:00. If your schedule is fixed, such as regular dialysis sessions, ask how appointments can fit around it.

Ask about access planning. In haemodialysis, an arteriovenous fistula is preferred and should be created well before dialysis begins, because it needs weeks to mature. A venous catheter is a temporary solution with a higher infection risk. Ask any clinic how it plans this with you.

Remember how this page is ordered. The list follows profile completeness, not clinical quality, so a higher position does not mean a better clinic.

What to expect at the first visit

Bring recent blood and urine test results, any kidney ultrasound or other scan reports, a list of all medicines and supplements you take, and letters from previous doctors or dialysis centres. Bring your insurance card if you have one. A family member or friend can help you remember the discussion.

Your nephrologist will usually take your history, check blood pressure and fluid status, examine you and review your results. The discussion may cover several pathways. Haemodialysis is usually given at a dialysis centre in repeated sessions of three to four hours, several times a week. Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of the abdomen; an exchange takes around half an hour and is repeated daily or run overnight by a machine. Transplant work-up may take weeks to months, and follow-up continues for life. Some people choose supportive conservative care instead.

Useful questions include: Which option fits my condition and daily life? When should we plan my access? What should I do between visits, and when should I call? What are my fluid, salt and diet limits? Am I up to date with vaccinations? Which warning signs mean I should come in sooner? Write the answers down.

Insurance, fees and booking

The Dr Ismaeel Qatash Nephrology Clinic profile lists Arab Orient Insurance and states that the clinic accepts insurance. For the Abdali and Khalda clinics, confirm directly which insurers they work with before you attend, and bring your policy details to the visit. Insurance arrangements change, so check at booking rather than relying on an old card or a friend's experience.

Fees are set by each clinic. Ask at the time of booking what the visit costs and what it covers, such as tests, follow-up or procedures.

Booking routes differ. The Abdali clinics' call centre arranges appointments by physician and consultation type and confirms the location and attendance time. The Khalda clinics arrange appointments by physician name through the care centre. The Fifth Circle clinic has a dedicated telephone for visit enquiries. Confirm the doctor, the floor and the time before you travel.

Getting there

Abdali Hospital Outpatient Clinics are on Al-Istithmar Street in Abdali, Amman, near the Boulevard. Saudi Hospital Specialist Outpatient Clinics are inside the hospital on Wasfi Al-Tal Street in Khalda, Amman. Dr Ismaeel Qatash's clinic is on the second floor of Khalaf Medical Complex in Fifth Circle, Amman, opposite Arab Medical Center. For each one, check the floor and entrance when booking, and allow extra time for travel and the walk from the entrance, especially on days with dialysis or other repeated visits.
