You should consult a nephrologist for concerns such as persistent changes in urination, swelling, uncontrolled high blood pressure, abnormal kidney function tests, recurrent kidney problems, or other symptoms suggesting reduced kidney function.

Nephrologists evaluate and manage conditions such as chronic kidney disease, acute kidney problems, high blood pressure related to kidney disease, electrolyte disorders, protein or blood in the urine, and other conditions affecting kidney function.

Dialysis may be recommended when the kidneys are no longer able to adequately perform essential functions such as removing waste and excess fluid from the body. The need for dialysis is determined by the patient's kidney function, symptoms, overall health, and clinical assessment.

Dialysis is a treatment that helps remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys cannot perform these functions adequately. The type and frequency of dialysis depend on the patient's condition and treatment plan.
