- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): - The diagnosis and treatment of CKD, an illness that worsens with time and is characterised by the increasing loss of renal function, depend heavily on nephrologists. When necessary, they propose suitable interventions such medication, lifestyle modifications, dialysis, or kidney transplantation. They also monitor kidney function and handle problems.
- Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): Dehydration, drug toxicity, or severe infections are the most common causes of AKI, which is a quick and frequently reversible loss in kidney function. In order to restore kidney function and stop future harm, nephrologists are involved in the diagnosis, care, and prevention of AKI.
- Kidney Stones: Nephrologists have specialised knowledge in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of kidney stones. In addition to providing advice on how to dissolve or remove the stones, they could suggest dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, and medications.
- Hypertension and Kidney-related Disorders: Kidney injury can result from hypertension, a common illness marked by high blood pressure. Nephrologists strive to avoid or delay kidney damage by managing and controlling hypertension. They also treat other kidney-related conditions like polycystic kidney disease, glomerulonephritis, and nephrotic syndrome.
- Dialysis and Kidney Transplantation: Patients with end-stage kidney disease who need dialysis or a kidney transplant are under the care of nephrologists. They supervise the administration of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis procedures as well as the coordination of kidney transplantation for qualified patients.
Nephrologists collaborate closely with primary care physicians, urologists, radiologists, and surgeons to offer patients with kidney-related illnesses complete care. They may also give medicine prescriptions, perform kidney biopsies, order and interpret diagnostic testing, and provide continuing renal health care. Their objectives are to enhance kidney function, raise quality of life, and stop or slow the onset of kidney disorders.
