Nephrology refers to the study of disorders and problems related to kidneys and their internal structures. A doctor treating such disorders is called a nephrologist. The kidneys perform the most crucial task of filtering your blood and help in the formation of urine. Kidneys at times develop cancers, stones or become dysfunctional and your doctor will decide the best treatment option for you depending upon your specific medical condition.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nephrology

Nephrology Surgeons

The Nephrology doctor typically first sees the results of the tests ordered to assess the overall health of the patient. Based on the initial assessment, the doctor would prepare a treatment plan tailored according to the individualized needs of the patients. The treatment plan for Nephrology, its alternative options, the pros and cons associated with each option and the treatment cost is thoroughly discussed with the patient to seek their approval.

Once the patient gives his or her consent, the Nephrology surgeon addresses his team members and shares the details of the case with them. The team members prepare for Nephrology and share a scheduled date of the procedure with the patient. The patient is advised to follow a few instructions as given by the Nephrology surgeon. In addition, the Nephrology hospital initiates the formalities and informs the patient about the estimated cost. The patient is accordingly required to submit documents for any insurance claim approval.
