Frequently Asked Questions

Nephrology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study and treatment of kidney diseases.

Common kidney diseases include chronic kidney disease, kidney stones, urinary tract infections, and glomerulonephritis.

Symptoms may include changes in urine output, swelling in the ankles or face, fatigue, nausea, and high blood pressure.

Early signs of kidney disease may include changes in urination (frequency, color, and volume), swelling in the legs or ankles, fatigue, nausea, and changes in appetite.

Kidney function should be monitored regularly, especially for individuals with risk factors for kidney disease, as early detection and treatment can help slow or prevent progression.

Diagnosis typically involves urine tests, blood tests, imaging studies like ultrasounds or CT scans, and sometimes kidney biopsies.

See a nephrologist for symptoms like changes in urination, swelling, fatigue, or uncontrolled blood pressure, especially with kidney disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure history. Also, consider family history or abnormal kidney function tests.
