A nephrologist is a physician specialized in diagnosing and treating kidney conditions.
They manage everything from abnormalities found on lab tests to advanced kidney disease requiring dialysis.
The nephrologist reviews your prior lab work, medical history, and risk factors like diabetes or hypertension.
They may order additional blood, urine, or imaging tests to evaluate kidney function in more detail.
Based on the results, they'll explain the diagnosis and a management plan, which may include dietary changes, medication, or, in advanced cases, kidney replacement therapy.
Have diabetes or hypertension and want your kidney function checked? Message us on WhatsApp.
