Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

You can carry the following reports if you have had these done before:

  • Blood tests
  • Urinalysis
  • Imaging scans
  • Kidney ultrasound
  • A list of chronic diagnoses (like high blood pressure or depression) and past operations

Actual reports may vary from case to case, but carrying the above reports would be helpful.

Nephrologists can treat recurrence of kidney disease in various ways:

  • Regular blood and urine tests
  • Medical management
  • Lifestyle modifications
  • In severe cases, dialysis is performed

Nephrologists in India generally perform various tests to check kidney function, such as blood tests for serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate(eGFR), urine test, ultrasound, CT scans, MRI, and kidney biopsy.

A nephrologist performs three key blood tests to evaluate a patient's compatibility with a donor for a kidney transplant: blood type compatibility, HLA typing, and a crossmatch test. 

The different specialists in the Nephrology department may include the following:

  • General Nephrologists provide comprehensive care for patients with kidney diseases, including diagnosis, treatment, and management of various kidney-related conditions.
  • Transplant Nephrologists specialize in caring for patients who have received or require kidney transplants.
  • Pediatric Nephrologists specialize in diagnosing and treating kidney diseases in children, such as congenital kidney disorders, urinary tract infections, and kidney failure.
  • Interventional Nephrologists specialize in performing interventional procedures related to the kidneys, such as inserting and managing dialysis access (e.g., arteriovenous fistulas or grafts) and kidney biopsies.

Many times, one doctor has more than one specialty. You can consult with that specialist, depending on your condition.

The doctors we list are highly sought after by patients.

We consider experience, designation, patient feedback, hospital reputation and our own experience of working with them amongst many factors in creating the list.

Please submit your inquiry on the website. Upon review of the details, a case manager from our team is assigned. The case manager will assist you with opinion, cost, travel, stay, and appointment with the doctor.
