Question 1

How much does a Nephrologist (Kidney Specialist) cost in Dhaka?

Accepted Answer

In Dhaka, a new-patient consultation with a nephrologist usually costs around 600 to 1,500 BDT. Senior consultants and well-known professors at large private hospitals may charge 2,000 BDT or more, while follow-up visits are often cheaper (around 400 to 800 BDT). Remember that kidney tests such as serum creatinine, eGFR, urine R/E and an ultrasound are billed separately, so it is wise to ask about total costs when you book.

Question 2

How do I book a Nephrologist (Kidney Specialist) in Dhaka and what should I bring?

Accepted Answer

You can book a nephrologist in Dhaka by calling the chamber or hospital, through their serial-number hotline, or online via ChamberBD. Bring all your previous kidney reports (creatinine, eGFR, urine tests, ultrasound), your current medicine list, and any prescriptions for diabetes or blood pressure. At the visit the doctor will review your history, check your blood pressure and swelling, read your reports, and give you a diagnosis with a medicine, diet and follow-up plan.

Question 3

Who is the best Nephrologist (Kidney Specialist) in Dhaka?

Accepted Answer

There is no single "best" nephrologist for everyone — the right doctor depends on your problem (for example CKD, dialysis, stones or a transplant) and how easy it is for you to reach them for regular follow-up. Look for a kidney specialist with an MD in Nephrology and good experience, ideally attached to a hospital with dialysis facilities. On ChamberBD you can compare nephrologists in Dhaka by qualifications, years of experience, chamber location, fees and patient reviews to choose the one that fits you best.

Question 4

Can I consult a Nephrologist (Kidney Specialist) online in Dhaka?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many nephrologists in Dhaka now offer online or telemedicine consultations, which work well for reviewing reports, adjusting blood pressure and kidney medicines, and routine follow-up of stable CKD patients. However, conditions like sudden swelling, very high creatinine, severe infection, or anything needing dialysis require an in-person visit. You can book a video consultation through ChamberBD and share your kidney reports beforehand so the doctor can advise you accurately.
