A Nephrologist (Kidney Specialist) is a medicine doctor who diagnoses and treats diseases of the kidneys and related problems with blood pressure, fluids and body salts (electrolytes). In Bangladesh, most patients are referred because of chronic kidney disease (CKD) caused by long-standing diabetes or uncontrolled high blood pressure, which together drive the majority of kidney failure here. People also come with swelling of the face or legs, foamy or bloody urine, repeated urine infections, kidney stones, very high creatinine on a report, or for dialysis and post-transplant care. In a typical consultation the doctor reviews your history and medicines (especially painkillers), examines blood pressure and swelling, and checks reports such as serum creatinine, eGFR, urine R/E, urine ACR and an ultrasound of the kidneys. You usually leave with a clear diagnosis, a medicine plan, diet and fluid advice, and a follow-up schedule. See a nephrologist if a blood or urine test shows kidney damage, if creatinine is rising, or if a diabetic or hypertensive patient needs their kidneys protected and monitored.
