Nephrologist

A nephrologist is a medical doctor specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney disorders, including chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and electrolyte imbalances. Their expertise is crucial in managing patients with renal failure, guiding dialysis, and preparing for kidney transplantation. A key association in nephrology is diabetic nephropathy, a common complication of diabetes that can lead to end-stage renal disease if not properly managed.
