About Nephrologist
Nephrologists, also known as kidney specialists are medical specialists who study the diseases of kidneys as well as the diagnosis and treatment methods. This specialty is sometimes also called renal medicine. Nephrology lies within the field of internal medicine and is specifically related to kidney care. It is often connected with associated conditions like hypertension or high blood pressure.
Nephrologists in Dunyapur are medical professionals who diagnose, treat, and manage acute and chronic kidney problems and diseases. They also treat associated issues like high blood pressure, fluid retention, and electrolyte and mineral imbalances. In addition, kidney specialists are in charge of kidney dialysis treatment — both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis — as well as kidney transplants and their follow-up care.
The conditions related to the kidneys are treated and managed by the nephrologist while all the concerns related to the ureter, urinary bladder, urethra, etc., are treated by a urologist. They both may work together in certain conditions to provide the optimum therapy to the patients such as recurring kidney and urinary tract stones or infections.
The general physician may refer you to a nephrologist (Mahir-e-imraz-e-gurda) if any condition related to the kidneys is identified, for a properly detailed diagnosis and treatment protocol.

Renal insufficiency: It is a renal artery disease that develops due to insufficient blood flow to the kidney resulting from renal artery disease.
Chronic kidney disease: CKD or chronic kidney disease is when your kidneys are damaged and cannot filter the blood adequately. You might not have severe symptoms until the disease is in a more advanced stage.
