Nephrology

Department of Nephrology

 

Nephrology is concerned with the functioning and management of the diseases associated with our bean-shaped organs- Kidneys. Somewhat everyone is aware of the role of the kidneys which is to purify the blood and remove toxins from the body. Any alteration or dysfunction in the physiology or anatomy of the kidney can lead to acute to chronic illnesses that can damage the organ or affect the entire body. Severe health conditions like hematuria, kidney stones, hypertension, proteinuria, acute renal failure, chronic kidney disease or disorders of acid/base and electrolytes occur when kidneys fail to maintain fluid, acid balance, or electrolyte. Such conditions need immediate medical attention from the experts treating kidney ailments.

Who is a Nephrologist?

Nephrologists specialize in diagnosing, managing and treating patients with kidney disorders. They commonly treat CKD, acute renal failure, and kidney stones and share their expertise in case of a patient needing dialysis, or kidney transplantation.

What causes kidney disease?

Generally, hypertension, obesity and diabetes are the major causes increasing the risk of developing kidney disease. If not, smoking and unlimited alcohol consumption also worsen kidney health, making it critical to treat. Other factors including inherited kidney disorders like lupus or polycystic kidney disease are rare but can occur to anyone.

When should you see a Nephrologist?

There is no specific stage or symptom that indicates the need to consult a nephrologist, as many diseases occur without any or non-specific symptoms. Sometimes general signs of fatigue, change in urine, sleep troubles or serious signs like blood in urine, and pain signifies the early stages of kidney disease. It is advisable for people at a higher risk (having diabetes, hypertension, heart diseases) for kidney ailments must go through regular tests to monitor their kidney health and functioning.
