Who is a Nephrologist?

They work closely with each patient and develop personalised treatment plans based on the kidney condition and individual preferences.
Reasons to See a Nephrologist or Kidney Specialist
Here are a few reasons why you may need to schedule an appointment with a kidney specialist:
- Fatigue and tiredness: Healthy kidneys release a hormone called erythropoietin (EPO) that prompts the production of oxygen carrying red blood cells in the body. As kidney function declines, they also make less EPO that ultimately causes weakness and fatigue.
- Changes in urination: Changes in urination such as increased or decreased volume, frequency, foamy urine or blood in urine may be a sign of kidney disease.
- Swelling: When the kidneys are not functioning optimally, it can cause inflammation or swelling in the face, hands, ankles or feet.
- Nausea and vomiting: Buildup of urea and other waste substances in the bloodstream (uremia) can cause nausea and vomiting.
- Itching or skin rash: When the kidneys are unable to filter waste effectively from the bloodstream, it can lead to severe skin rashes and itching.
- Poor memory or difficulty concentrating:Anaemia associated with kidney failure can potentially cause memory problems or difficulty in focusing.
