Renal problems are problems with the kidneys, including renal failure (kidney failure), acute kidney injury, and decreased functioning.
The nephrologist is a doctor specialized in the kidneys and their functions. He is responsible for diagnosing and treating kidney-related diseases, such as kidney failure, high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, kidney stones, and fluid and electrolyte balance disorders. In addition, the nephrologist performs dialysis and kidney transplants in patients with advanced kidney failure. It is advisable to see a nephrologist if you have symptoms such as pain in the lower back, changes in urination, swelling in the extremities, or if you have a family history of kidney disease.
Remember that for the proper selection of health professional that treats renal problems you must consider the nature, severity and symptoms you are presenting.
