The nephrologist reviews medical conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, medicines, swelling, urine changes and previous kidney test results. Key tests often include serum creatinine with estimated GFR and urine testing for protein/albumin. Depending on the case, electrolytes, blood counts, ultrasound or other investigations may be needed to identify the cause and monitor progression.
The specialist first reviews your symptoms, when they began, previous treatment, current medicines and relevant medical history.
A focused examination is performed according to the symptoms and the body system involved.
Tests are advised when they can help clarify the diagnosis, assess severity or guide treatment.
The care plan is based on the diagnosis and may include medicines, monitoring, rehabilitation, a procedure, surgery or referral when appropriate.
The specialist decides which investigations are appropriate after reviewing the history and examination findings.
Nephrology care focuses on kidney function, fluid and electrolyte problems and kidney-related medical conditions.
