Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Clarylee Octaviani provides expert, compassionate care for a range of conditions common in older adults, with a focus on managing symptoms and maintaining function. Common areas of focus include:
- Dehydration: Dehydration can make everyday tasks feel more difficult, but by staying well-hydrated and possibly working with your doctor to find the root cause, you can regain strength and easily maintain your daily routines.
- Magnesium Metabolism Disorders: Managing magnesium levels often involves dietary changes, supplements under a doctor's guidance, and addressing any underlying health conditions that might be contributing to the imbalance.
- Nephritis and Nephropathy: If you've been diagnosed with nephritis or nephropathy, understanding your condition and working closely with your doctor will empower you to manage your health proactively, enhancing your overall well-being and lessening the impact on your daily life.
- Muscle Spasm: Experiencing a muscle spasm? It's a temporary tightening of a muscle, often eased by rest, heat, and over-the-counter medications, helping you avoid unnecessary discomfort and improve your daily life.
- Hyperparathyroidism: If you have hyperparathyroidism, it means your body is making too much of a hormone that affects your bones and kidneys; however, treatment, such as medication or surgery, can help you feel better and reduce your risk of complications.
- Hypokalemia: Experiencing muscle cramps, weakness, or heart palpitations? Low potassium (hypokalemia) might be the cause. Fortunately, this is often manageable with a personalized treatment plan from your doctor, improving your comfort and ability to participate in activities you enjoy.
- Renal Artery Arteriosclerotic Disease: Renal artery arteriosclerotic disease means the arteries supplying your kidneys are hardening and narrowing, potentially reducing kidney function, but with proper management, like medication or procedures, you can often maintain your kidney health and overall well-being.
- Chronic Kidney Disease Stage I: With Chronic Kidney Disease Stage I, your kidneys have a mild reduction in their ability to filter waste, but this is often easily managed through monitoring, diet adjustments, and medication, enabling you to enjoy your life to the fullest.
- Congenital Anomalies of Kidney: Congenital kidney anomalies are birth defects impacting kidney development; a doctor's care plan, which may involve medications or specialist referrals, aims to ensure the best possible kidney function and overall health.
- Hyposmolality and Hyponatremia: Hyposmolality and hyponatremia refer to low sodium levels in your blood, which can cause fatigue, confusion, and even falls, but with careful monitoring and treatment, like adjusting medication or fluids, you can feel better and stay safer.
- End-Stage Renal Disease: ESRD is a serious kidney condition where your kidneys have significantly lost their function; thankfully, effective management strategies including dialysis or kidney transplantation offer ways to improve symptoms and prolong life.
- Hydronephrosis: Hydronephrosis is a swelling of the kidneys from a backup of urine, and while it can be concerning, many treatment options exist to improve drainage and prevent further complications, helping maintain your overall well-being.
This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional based on your specific health history.
To provide comprehensive and person-centered care, Dr. Clarylee Octaviani offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and support the health of older adults:

- Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy: As part of a comprehensive care plan, CRRT assists in managing fluid overload and electrolyte imbalances often experienced by older adults with acute kidney injury.
- Electrocardiogram (EKG): If you experience chest pain or shortness of breath, an EKG helps your doctor quickly diagnose the cause, providing timely intervention to prevent serious complications and ensuring your safety.
- Fecal Occult Blood Test for Colorectal Cancer: A fecal occult blood test is a simple screening tool that can help detect hidden blood in your stool, an early sign that might indicate colorectal cancer.
- Immunization Administration: Getting vaccinated helps manage the risk of serious illnesses, such as influenza and pneumonia, common among older adults, thereby improving their overall well-being.
- Kidney Stones Treatment: Diagnosis and treatment of kidney stones helps your doctor understand your kidney health and develop a personalized plan to manage any related conditions.
- Kidney Transplant Evaluation: A kidney transplant evaluation helps determine if you're a good candidate for a kidney transplant to improve your kidney function and overall health.
- Renal Biopsy: To create a personalized treatment plan for your kidney disease, your doctor might recommend a renal biopsy to analyze a tiny piece of kidney tissue and see what's happening inside.
- Renal Scan: A renal scan uses special imaging to check how well your kidneys are working, helping your doctor create the best treatment plan for you.
- Ultrasound: In assessing the health of your blood vessels, an ultrasound aids in preventing future cardiovascular events and is an important part of our proactive care approach.
