Nephrologists treat chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney failure, kidney infections, electrolyte imbalances, high blood pressure, and other kidney-related conditions.
Common symptoms include swelling in the legs or face, fatigue, changes in urination, blood in urine, high blood pressure, nausea, and loss of appetite.

A Nephrologist may recommend blood tests, urine tests, kidney function tests, ultrasound scans, and other diagnostic investigations.
Dialysis is a medical treatment that helps remove waste products and excess fluids from the blood when the kidneys are no longer functioning properly.
