Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. Expert nephrologists specialize in diagnosing and treating AKI with advanced interventions. This service includes identifying the root cause, restoring kidney function, and preventing complications. Early and effective care ensures faster recovery for patients with sudden kidney issues.
Nephrology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of kidney-related diseases, including chronic kidney disease, kidney stones, and high blood pressure caused by kidney issues.
You should consult a nephrologist if you experience symptoms such as persistent swelling in your legs or face, blood in urine, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disease.
Kidney function is assessed through tests such as blood tests for creatinine and urea, urine tests, imaging studies like ultrasound, and sometimes a kidney biopsy for detailed evaluation.
