What does a nephrologist do?

A nephrologist, or kidney doctor, specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing kidney diseases. They manage conditions like high blood pressure, kidney stones, and kidney failure, including diabetic nephropathy. Nephrologists also handle fluid retention, electrolyte imbalances and are experts in kidney transplantation.

When should I visit a nephrologist?

You should visit a nephrologist if you notice changes in urination, such as blood, dark urine, or discomfort, or if you have a family history of kidney disease. Diabetes, high blood pressure, and symptoms like swollen ankles, fatigue, or sudden kidney deterioration are also warning signs. Early detection can help prevent further damage and improve quality of life.

What should I expect during my first visit to a nephrologist?

During your first visit to a nephrologist, they will review your medical history, perform a physical exam, and may order blood and urine tests or imaging studies like an ultrasound. In rare cases, a kidney biopsy might be needed. Be sure to bring your insurance cards and photo ID to the appointment.

How is a nephrologist different from a urologist?

A nephrologist focuses on kidney care, treating conditions like chronic kidney disease, kidney stones, and kidney failure, and managing dialysis and transplants. Urologists specialize in the urinary tract and, for men, the reproductive system, addressing issues like bladder problems, erectile dysfunction, and prostate enlargement, often performing surgeries for cancer or urinary blockages.

What kind of tests will a nephrologist perform?

A nephrologist may perform various tests to assess kidney function, including blood tests like BUN and serum creatinine to measure waste levels, urine tests such as urinalysis and uACR to evaluate kidney function and chronic kidney disease, imaging tests like X-rays, CT scans, and ultrasounds to detect damage or abnormalities, and kidney biopsies to diagnose specific conditions.

What health conditions does a nephrologist treat?

Nephrologists are specialists who diagnose and treat a range of kidney-related conditions, including acute and chronic kidney disease, high blood pressure, kidney stones, renal failure, polycystic kidney disease, hematuria, kidney cancer, glomerulonephritis, kidney abnormalities, and kidney issues caused by autoimmune diseases or renal obstruction. They provide care through medication, lifestyle changes, and treatments like dialysis and kidney transplants.
