About Nephrologist Doctors

Conditions Treated by a Nephrologist

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Progressive loss of kidney function over months to years, often from diabetes or hypertension.

Diabetic Nephropathy

Kidney damage caused by long-standing diabetes — the leading cause of kidney failure in India.

Kidney Stones

Hard deposits forming in kidneys from minerals in urine. Very common in North India due to diet and climate.

Nephrotic Syndrome

Kidney condition causing excessive protein loss in urine, leading to severe swelling.

Hypertensive Nephropathy

Kidney damage from long-standing uncontrolled high blood pressure.

Kidney Health Tips

  • Control blood sugar and blood pressure
  • Don't take painkillers regularly without doctor's advice
  • Stay adequately hydrated
  • Get annual kidney function tests if you have diabetes or hypertension
  • Reduce salt intake to less than 5g per day
  • Don't use unregulated herbal or ayurvedic kidney remedies

How to Prepare for Your Nephrologist Visit

Before Your Visit

  • Bring recent blood reports — creatinine, BUN, electrolytes, CBC, urine routine
  • List all medications with doses — especially painkillers, BP medicines, and supplements
  • Note urine changes — colour, volume, frequency, foaming
  • Bring previous ultrasound or CT scan reports of kidneys

During the Appointment

  • Mention all medications including over-the-counter painkillers and ayurvedic supplements
  • Ask about dietary restrictions specific to your kidney function stage
  • Discuss fluid intake — how much water you should drink
  • Ask about medications that need dose adjustment for kidney function

After the Visit

  • Avoid NSAIDs (ibuprofen, diclofenac) unless approved by your nephrologist
  • Follow dietary advice — especially salt and potassium restrictions
  • Monitor BP at home and keep a log
  • Don't skip follow-up appointments — kidney disease can worsen silently

Questions to Ask Your Nephrologist

  1. 1.What stage is my kidney disease?
  2. 2.How can I slow the progression?
  3. 3.Do I need to restrict my diet?
  4. 4.Which medications should I avoid?
  5. 5.Will I need dialysis or a transplant?
  6. 6.How often should I get blood tests?

When Should You See a Nephrologist?

A Nephrologist specializes in kidney diseases and disorders. India has a high burden of chronic kidney disease, often linked to diabetes and hypertension.

  • Elevated creatinine or reduced eGFR on blood tests
  • Protein or blood in urine
  • Swelling in legs, ankles, or face (oedema)
  • Foamy or frothy urine
  • High blood pressure not controlled with 2+ medications
  • Diabetic with declining kidney function
  • Recurrent kidney stones
  • Family history of kidney disease or kidney failure

Seek emergency care for sudden decrease in urine output, severe swelling, confusion, or chest pain in a kidney patient.
