Nephrology
What Does A Nephrologist Do?
A nephrologist (kidney specialist) will help to improve your health by managing your kidney function along with blood pressure and other aspects of your health care affected by your kidneys. A kidney specialist does not operate on your kidneys but will use medicines in conjunction with lifestyle changes to achieve your health goals.
As well as communicating with your general practitioner, a kidney doctor often liaises very closely with other specialists and teams who are involved in your health care such as :
- Endocrinologists
- Cardiologists
- Urologists
- Oncologists
- Dieticians
