Nephrologist – Why Consulting a Specialist Matters
A Nephrologist is an internal medicine specialist focused on kidney function and kidney diseases. They manage chronic kidney disease (CKD), acute kidney injury, nephrotic syndrome, nephritic syndrome, IgA nephropathy, polycystic kidney disease, and electrolyte disorders. Nephrologists manage patients on hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, and evaluate and prepare patients for kidney transplantation. They work closely with urologists (for kidney stones and surgical conditions) and cardiologists (as kidney disease affects the heart).
