FAQ
A nephrology specialist (or kidney doctor) is a physician who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and medical management of conditions affecting kidney function. They evaluate kidney health, manage underlying causes like diabetes and high blood pressure, and outline targeted treatment plans to preserve kidney function as long as possible.
Our specialists manage a comprehensive spectrum of renal disorders:
- Chronic & End-Stage Conditions: End-stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and Chronic Kidney Disease linked to Diabetes and Hypertension.
- Acute & Autoimmune Renal Disorders: Acute Kidney Injury, as well as specialised management for SLE & IgA Nephropathy.
- General Renal Care: Severe fluid retention, electrolyte imbalances, and renal-related hypertension.
To accurately assess your kidney function, our specialists may order routine blood tests (such as serum creatinine and eGFR), urine tests to check for protein or blood leaks, fluid balance evaluations, or renal ultrasound imaging to inspect the structural health of your kidneys.
