What is an UberDoc Nephrology Doctor?

A Nephrologist is a medical doctor that specializes in treating the kidney and its related diseases.

Nephrology is the medical specialty specific to the study of normal kidney function, the preservation of kidney health, and the treatment of kidney disease. From diet to medication to renal replacement therapy (dialysis and kidney transplantation) many diseases affecting the kidney are systemic and not limited to the organ itself, and many require special treatment.

To best care for their patients, Nephrologists take a comprehensive history and physical exams. This may include requiring information on topics such as present illness, family history, general medical history, diet, medication use, drug use, and occupation, as well as checking for the health status of the blood pressure levels, heart, lungs, peripheral arteries, joints, abdomen, and stomach. Furthermore, blood tests can be used to test the concentration of hemoglobin and platelets, as well as a number of minerals in the body.

What does a nephrologist treat?

A nephrologist specializes in kidney health and treats conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney stones, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, electrolyte imbalances, and hypertension affecting kidney function.

+
When should I see a nephrologist?

You should see a nephrologist if you have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, have protein or blood in your urine, experience frequent kidney stones, have uncontrolled high blood pressure, or your primary care doctor has noted declining kidney function.

+
Can a nephrologist help me avoid dialysis?

Yes. A nephrologist can implement strategies to slow the progression of kidney disease, including optimizing blood pressure control, managing diabetes, and recommending dietary changes that help protect kidney function and delay or prevent dialysis.
