FAQ

1. Who is a nephrologist, and what conditions do they manage or treat?

A nephrologist is essentially a medical doctor who devotes his practice to the management of kidney disorders. They take care of patients with chronic kidney disease and also those with acute kidney disease, electrolyte disorders, hypertension that is related to renal issues, and those on dialysis. Nephrologists also diagnose and treat diseases such as inflammatory diseases like glomerulonephritis, hereditary renal diseases like polycystic kidney disease, and infections like kidney infections.

2. When should I consult a nephrologist?

If you’re experiencing persistent high blood pressure, blood or protein in your urine, recurring kidney stones or urinary tract infections, or if you have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, you should consult a nephrologist. Also, even if you have not had an issue with your kidney, your primary care doctor may recommend a nephrologist if, on your routine checkup, KFTs were abnormal.

3. How does a kidney stone doctor handle kidney stones? 

Kidney stones require medical intervention, and the kind of treatment that will be administered depends on the size, type, and location of the stone. A doctor who specializes in managing kidney stones may advise the patient to drink more water, take pain relievers, and prescribed drugs to encourage the passage of stones that are small. Larger stones are compliant with ESWL, ureteroscopy, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).

4. What types of procedures do nephrologists usually employ in the diagnosis of kidney disorders?

Kidney specialists administer several examinations to identify the underlying cause of the kidney issues; the creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentration in blood, urine tests to determine the presence of protein, blood, and other substances, imaging tests involving a kidney ultrasound or computer tomography (CT) scan, as well as the uncommon test that involves taking a small sample of the kidney to examine under the microscope called the kidney biopsy.
