Nephrology & Kidney Health

Nephrologists specialize in kidney diseases, kidney failure, dialysis care, and blood pressure-related kidney disorders.

Swelling, fatigue, high blood pressure, changes in urination, and abnormal kidney function tests.

Diabetes, hypertension, infections, inherited disorders, autoimmune diseases, and certain medications.

Dialysis may be needed when kidneys can no longer effectively remove waste and excess fluids from the body.

CKD is a gradual loss of kidney function over time that requires ongoing monitoring and treatment.

Managing diabetes, controlling blood pressure, maintaining hydration, and following a healthy lifestyle can help reduce risk.

Individuals with diabetes, hypertension, or kidney disease risk factors should undergo regular monitoring.

Recommendations vary, but limiting excess salt, processed foods, and certain minerals may be advised.

Some kidney conditions can improve with treatment, while chronic kidney disease often requires long-term management.

Dialysis replaces some kidney functions artificially, while transplantation replaces the diseased kidney with a donor organ.
