Who Is a Nephrologist?
A nephrologist is a medical specialist in the kidneys and urinary system. Nephrologists’ knowledge of these body parts allows them to analyze, diagnose, and treat kidney and urinary system diseases. Abnormal test results, such as a urine or blood test, predispose you to visit a nephrologist. Nephrology is a specific field that primarily focuses on the kidneys and problems with these organs.
