Nephrologist consultation
Receive a professional assessment of your kidney health and clear recommendations for further treatment and ongoing health monitoring.
Professional kidney health assessment
A nephrologist is a doctor who specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of kidney diseases. During the consultation, the doctor assesses the patient’s symptoms, medical history, current medications, laboratory test results and the findings of previous examinations.
If necessary, the nephrologist may recommend additional laboratory tests or examinations, clarify the diagnosis, prescribe treatment and prepare a follow-up plan. If kidney function is significantly impaired, the doctor explains the available kidney replacement therapy options and helps the patient prepare for treatment in time.
