Nephrology

Nephrology is a branch of internal medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract. The kidneys play a key role in regulating fluid, electrolytes and removing toxins from the body, so their health directly affects the general condition of the body.

You should see a nephrologist if you have pain or problems:

Problems with urination

Urinary incontinence

Pain when urinating

Chronic or polycystic kidney disease

Chronic kidney failure

Kidney stones

Hypertension

The examination includes a detailed medical history, laboratory analysis of urine and blood, and, if necessary, an ultrasound of the kidneys and urinary tract. The nephrologist monitors kidney function through key parameters and plans therapy according to the cause and stage of the disease.

As part of the nephrology service, we offer:

Specialist nephrology examination and consultation

Assessment and monitoring of kidney function (creatinine, GFR, proteinuria)

Diagnosis and treatment of chronic kidney disease and kidney stones

Monitoring patients with diabetes and hypertension to prevent kidney damage

Referral processing for kidney biopsy in collaboration with specialized institutions

Nutrition and lifestyle counseling to preserve kidney function

The recommendation for coming for a specialist examination and ultrasound (USG) examination is to come on an empty stomach (eat your last meal 5 hours before the appointment) and to urinate 30-50 minutes before coming for the examination.
