Nephrologist:

A nephrologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the treatment of kidney-related conditions. They are trained to manage and treat kidney diseases, dialysis, kidney transplantation, and other complex renal problems.

When to consult a Nephrologist?

If you experience symptoms such as frequent urination, swelling, blood in urine, or unexplained fatigue, it's important to consult a nephrologist. They will conduct tests to assess your kidney health and recommend appropriate treatment or lifestyle changes.

• Swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet
• Changes in urination frequency or appearance
• Unexplained fatigue or weakness
• High blood pressure
• Back pain or discomfort

Regular check-ups with a nephrologist can help in early detection and prevention of kidney disease.
