A nephrologist sees patients referred by their primary care physician for kidney and urinary problems, high blood pressure, or specific metabolic disorders. When a nephrologist sees a patient, he or she will usually go over the patient's entire medical history as well as perform a physical examination. They recommend blood, urine, and imaging tests based on the study and examination results to determine how well the patient's kidneys and urinary tract are functioning. If they discover that the kidneys or urinary system are not functioning properly, he or she assists in determining the cause and developing a treatment plan. When it comes to kidney disease, taking action early can help slow the progression of the disease and have an impact on your health. If you have Stage 3b CKD and have not yet been referred to a kidney specialist, consult your primary care physician. When you begin experiencing severe loss of kidney function, seeing a nephrologist can help ensure you're doing everything possible to manage your kidney health and improve your health outcomes.
