Huprikar The
Nephrologist
A Nephrologist generally sees patients who are referred by their
primary care physicians or general physicians for problems related
to the kidneys, high blood pressure or certain types of metabolic
disorders. If someone feels they are having problems with their
kidneys, they can seek out the care of a Nephrologist
in Pune When a kidney doctor first meets with a patient, he or she
will usually go over the patients medical history and do a
complete physical.
A Nephrologist will then do blood and urine tests to determine
how well the patients kidneys are functioning. He or she may also
order a kidney ultrasound. When necessary, a Nephrologist may
perform a kidney biopsy in order to better determine what is
wrong with the kidneys. However, a Nephrologist is not a surgeon
and typically does not perform operations. Treatment of kidney
cancer, prostate operations and removal of kidney stones are
usually handled by a different type of physician known as
a Consultant Nephrologist.
