The Institute of Nephrology and Hypertension provides services in a number of fields:

The institute runs a clinic for adult patients with kidney diseases and hypertension. The patients undergo diagnostic processes, including a physical examination, laboratory tests and imaging and also renal biopsies when required. The clinic advises family physicians on the diagnosis and treatment of patients. The institute does not provide pediatric nephrology services.
A second clinic working at the institute is a chronic renal failure clinic for kidney patients suffering from advanced disease, who may reach a terminal stage and require dialysis treatment. The Institute of Nephrology and Hypertension provides an alternative treatment for terminal renal failure with an artificial kidney - hemodialysis, chronic wearable peritoneal dialysis.
The Institute of Nephrology and Hypertension advises the medical center's in-patient departments in cases when patients have kidney disease, hypertension, electrolyte imbalance, and acid-alkaline balance and pre-eclampsia.
The Institute is recognized by the Scientific Council of the Israel Medical Association as a provider of full residency training in nephrology.
