What do Nephrologists do?

Nephrology physicians, also known as nephrologists, diagnose and treat kidney diseases and other conditions affecting the urinary tract and kidney-related functions, such as chronic kidney disease, high blood pressure, kidney stones, and electrolyte disorders.

They manage kidney failure through treatments such as dialysis, coordinate kidney transplant care, and work with patients on diet and medication to protect kidney health.

Nephrologists use various methods to diagnose and treat kidney issues:

Collaboration: They play a central role in a healthcare team, working closely with other specialists, dietitians, and transplant teams.

Diagnostic Tests: They perform blood and urine tests, including urinalysis and 24-hour urine collection, to check for protein or blood in the urine and assess kidney function.

Management Plans: They develop long-term plans for patients with chronic kidney disease, which may include managing complications like anemia and bone disease.

Treatment: They prescribe medications, manage diet, and provide care for dialysis and kidney transplant patients.

Monitoring: They monitor patients with diabetes or high blood pressure, as these conditions increase their risk of kidney damage.

What They Treat

Nephrologists manage a wide range of kidney-related conditions, including:

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): A progressive loss of kidney function.
Kidney Failure: The end stage of kidney disease, often requiring dialysis or transplantation.
Kidney Stones: Hard deposits that form in the kidneys, which nephrologists can help prevent.
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) is a significant cause of kidney damage that nephrologists help manage.
Electrolyte Disorders: Imbalances in minerals like sodium, potassium, and calcium that impact kidney function.
Kidney Infections: Infections that affect the kidneys or urinary tract.
Glomerular Diseases: Conditions that damage the tiny filters in the kidneys.
