Why is nephrology important, and what is it?
The branch of medicine that focuses on kidney health is called nephrology. To filter waste, maintain fluid balance, and support general bodily functions, the kidneys are essential. High blood pressure and toxin accumulation are two major health issues that can arise from a reduction in kidney function.
Which Conditions Do Nephrologists Treat?
A nephrologist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders relating to the kidneys. The following conditions are commonly treated by them:
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD).
- Kidney stones
- An electrolyte imbalance
- Hypertension associated with kidney dysfunction
- Glomerulonephritis
- Polycystic kidney disease (PKD)
What Are the Common Treatments in Nephrology?
Treatments in nephrology depend on the specific kidney condition. Some common approaches include:
- Medications to manage blood pressure, reduce swelling, or prevent disease progression.
- Dialysis for advanced kidney failure when the kidneys can no longer filter waste properly.
- Dietary modifications to reduce stress on the kidneys and balance nutrients.
- Lifestyle changes, such as sodium reduction and proper hydration support kidney function.
- Kidney transplant for patients with end-stage kidney disease who qualify for the procedure.
When Is the Right Time to See a Nephrologist?
A nephrologist should be consulted if you suffer from:
- Chronic edema in the hands, feet, or legs
- Unknown cause of elevated blood pressure
- Variations in the color or frequency of urine
- Urine with blood in it
- Prolonged exhaustion or trouble focusing because of toxicity accumulation
