NEPHROLOGY

Professional diagnosis, treatment and individual approach to the patient.

NEPHROLOGY

Nephrology is the branch of medicine that studies kidney function and disease. Nephrology is closely related to urology, but a nephrologist mainly treats kidney disorders and kidney diseases.

Indicators that should attract attention and require consultation with a nephrologist:
Nephrologist consultation is required if there is known kidney disease or suspicion of changes in kidney function (dynamic increase in creatinine level in blood analysis, decrease in GFR below 60 ml/min/1.73 m2),
significant changes in urinalysis or radiological studies.
