Top 3 Glomerulonephritis treatment Clinics in Jordan 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Glomerulonephritis is inflammation of the glomeruli, the tiny filters inside the kidney that separate waste and extra water from the blood. When these filters are damaged, protein and red blood cells can leak into the urine and the kidney clears the blood less well. The causes vary, and some involve the immune system attacking kidney tissue. Nephrology is the specialty that assesses and manages this condition.

Book an assessment if you notice any of the following:

• Urine the colour of tea or cola, or visible blood in the urine
• Heavy foam in the urine that does not clear
• Puffiness around the eyes in the morning, or swelling of the feet and legs
• High blood pressure, including in a young person
• Passing less urine than usual
• Unexplained tiredness

Sometimes there are no symptoms at all, and the inflammation is found on a routine urine test. This is one reason urine testing belongs in a periodic check-up.

Call 911 straight away for sudden severe breathlessness, chest pain, fainting, confusion, very little or no urine passed, or a severe headache with very high blood pressure. Do not wait for a routine appointment for these signs.

An assessment usually starts with a visit of 20 to 40 minutes and urine and blood tests, with kidney function results arriving within one to three days. Some people need immunological tests, which may take about a week, and some need a kidney biopsy when it is required. The biopsy itself takes minutes, followed by several hours of observation and a tissue result within days. Treatment then runs over months, with response reviewed at set intervals, and follow-up can continue for years in many types.

How to choose among the clinics here

The order on this page reflects profile completeness, not treatment quality, so use the practical details to compare. Readers looking for the best Glomerulonephritis treatment Clinics in Jordan should weigh the following points rather than the position alone.

• Specialist input: the Jordan Hospital outpatient profile links nephrologist Fouad Riad Saeed, Al Khalidi Medical Plaza links nephrologist Ahmad Yousef Rasheed, and Dr Ismaeel Qatash is the sole doctor at his clinic. Ask who will lead your kidney care across visits.
• Testing pathway: Al Khalidi Medical Plaza lists coordination of kidney biopsy at an appropriate facility, and the Jordan Hospital profile lists glomerulonephritis assessment within a hospital outpatient setting.
• Setting: a multi-specialty outpatient centre can suit people who also have heart, bowel or other conditions, while a single-doctor clinic offers a focused nephrology visit.
• Hours and location: check the confirmed hours for your planned day, and pick the district that is easiest for you to reach.
• Insurance: Arab Orient Insurance is listed for the Jordan Hospital outpatient clinics and for Dr Ismaeel Qatash's clinic.

What to expect at the first visit

Preparation makes the first visit more productive. Bring any earlier urine and blood test results, a current list of medicines and supplements, home blood pressure readings if you have them, and any previous kidney reports, including biopsy reports. Bring your identity card and insurance card if you have one.

Useful questions include: what the tests show, whether more tests are needed, whether a kidney biopsy is recommended and where it would be done, how often you should return, and which signs mean you should come back sooner. Do not stop or change any prescribed medicine on your own. Discuss it with the doctor first.

The visit is an assessment, so your doctor may order further urine, blood or immunological tests before deciding on a plan. Treatment choices depend on the cause and on how your kidneys respond, which only the treating team can judge.

Insurance, fees and booking

Before you book, ask each clinic directly about consultation, test and follow-up costs, because these depend on the visit and on your coverage. Arab Orient Insurance is listed for the Jordan Hospital outpatient clinics and for Dr Ismaeel Qatash's clinic, but coverage details vary, so confirm with the clinic and your insurer in advance.

At Jordan Hospital, Patient Services coordinates visits by physician name and confirms the building, floor and consultation time. Dr Ismaeel Qatash's clinic has a dedicated telephone for visit enquiries, and the number is in its profile. Appointments at Al Khalidi Medical Plaza follow each clinic's own schedule, so ask which day the nephrology consultation is held.

Confirm the opening hours shown on the profile before you travel, and ask whether your required tests can be arranged on the same day as the consultation.

Getting there

All three clinics are in Amman. Two are in Jabal Amman: the Jordan Hospital outpatient clinics on Queen Noor Street, and Al Khalidi Medical Plaza at building 38 on Ibn Khaldoun Street. The third, Dr Ismaeel Qatash Nephrology Clinic, is in Fifth Circle, Amman, on the second floor of its building.

Use the street and building details from each profile when you plan your route, and confirm the floor and entrance when you book. If you expect to need blood or urine tests on the same visit, allow extra time in your schedule.
