What is the difference between a nephrologist and a urologist?

Nephrologists manage medical kidney diseases and dialysis. Urologists handle surgical conditions of the urinary tract like kidney stones, tumors, and prostate problems.

Can chronic kidney disease be reversed?

CKD is generally progressive but can be slowed significantly with good blood pressure and diabetes control, diet, and avoiding nephrotoxic drugs.

What is dialysis and when is it needed?

Dialysis artificially filters blood when kidneys fail. It is needed when eGFR drops below 15 mL/min (Stage 5 CKD) with uremic symptoms.
