Frequently Asked Questions

Nephrology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study and treatment of kidney-related conditions. Nephrologists are medical professionals specializing in the diagnosis and management of kidney diseases.

Common kidney diseases include chronic kidney disease (CKD), glomerulonephritis, kidney stones, polycystic kidney disease, and urinary tract infections. Each condition requires different approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

Kidney stones are often formed when there is an imbalance of minerals and salts in the urine. Dehydration, certain medical conditions, and dietary factors can contribute to the formation of kidney stones.

Chronic kidney disease is diagnosed through a combination of blood tests, urine tests, and imaging studies. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the presence of protein or blood in the urine are important indicators.

Dialysis is a medical procedure that helps filter and remove waste products from the blood when the kidneys are unable to do so adequately. It is often necessary for individuals with advanced stages of kidney failure.

Some kidney diseases can be prevented or managed through a healthy lifestyle. This includes staying hydrated, maintaining a balanced diet, controlling blood pressure, avoiding excessive use of certain medications, and regular monitoring for conditions like diabetes.

Kidney transplantation is considered when kidney function has significantly declined, and other treatment options such as dialysis are no longer sufficient. Transplants are typically recommended for individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
