When to See a Nephrologist?
Kidney diseases often develop gradually, and early signs may go unnoticed. Seeking timely consultation with a nephrologist is crucial to prevent complications and ensure effective management of kidney-related conditions. Here are some common symptoms and risk factors that indicate the need for a nephrology consultation:
Persistent Swelling (Edema): Fluid retention in the legs, hands, or face due to impaired kidney function.
Changes in Urination: Increased frequency, foamy urine, blood in urine, or difficulty urinating may indicate kidney disease.
Severe Lower Back or Flank Pain: Persistent pain on one side of the lower back can be a sign of kidney stones or infections.
Uncontrolled High Blood Pressure: Hypertension that does not respond to medication may be linked to kidney dysfunction.
Chronic Fatigue & Weakness: Toxin buildup in the blood due to declining kidney function can cause persistent tiredness.
Diabetes or Heart Disease: People with diabetes or cardiovascular conditions are at higher risk of developing kidney disease.
Frequent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Recurrent UTIs may indicate an underlying kidney condition requiring specialised care.
If any of these symptoms persist, consulting a kidney specialist at Artemis Hospital can help in early detection, diagnosis, and effective treatment planning.
