A physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease, including hypertension, CKD, dialysis, and transplant medicine.
A nephrologist manages the full spectrum of kidney disease: diagnosis and staging of CKD, glomerular disease, electrolyte and acid-base disorders, hypertension, and the transition to renal replacement therapy (dialysis and transplant). Referral is recommended when eGFR falls below ~30, for rapid eGFR decline, significant albuminuria, or unexplained hematuria/electrolyte abnormalities. The nephrologist coordinates the care team - renal dietitian, dialysis nurses, and surgeons - and leads decisions on dialysis modality, vascular access timing, and transplant referral.
The medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of kidney diseases, including dialysis and transplant care.
A progressive condition characterized by gradual loss of kidney function over months or years, classified into 5 stages based on eGFR.
The medical treatment that artificially performs the kidney's filtering functions — removing waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the blood when kidneys fail.
