Nephrologist

A nephrologist is a specialized medical doctor who focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of kidney-related diseases and conditions. They care for patients with acute and chronic kidney disorders, including kidney failure, electrolyte imbalances, hypertension, and complications from systemic diseases like diabetes and lupus that affect kidney function. Nephrologists perform essential procedures such as kidney biopsies, manage dialysis treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease, and work closely with other specialists to provide comprehensive care aimed at preserving kidney health and improving overall patient outcomes.
