A nephrologist is a doctor who is certified in nephrology and specializes in diagnosing and treating kidney diseases. Nephrologists study internal medicine and then go into more specialized training to treat patients with kidney disorders. They commonly deal with the treatment of chronic kidney disease, acute renal failure, kidney stones, etc. and are quite knowledgeable about kidney transplantation and dialysis. A nephrologist is usually consulted to deal with severe and complex kidney conditions.

Though Urology and Nephrology deal with kidney problems, they are reasonably different. A urologic surgeon or urologist is a surgical specialist who treats kidney diseases caused by physical reasons, such as

• kidney stones
• prostate enlargement
• bladder infections and bladder control issues
• cancer of the urinary tract
• hydronephrosis or swelling of the kidney occurring due to the blockage in the passage of urine
• other defects like cysts and deformed kidneys, etc.
• They also focus on other parts of the urinary tract, including the ureters, bladder, and urethra.

On the other hand, a nephrologist’s area of expertise is focused on treating the functional issues of the kidney. They prescribe non-surgical medical treatments if your kidney function is impaired by:

• kidney failure
• blood or protein leakage in your urine
• advanced chronic kidney disease
• hypertension or high blood pressure
• inherited kidney disease
• a chemical imbalance in the blood (can occur from high or low sodium and potassium levels in the blood)

A nephrologist sees patients with problems and conditions related to the kidneys or specific type of metabolic disorders. They conduct blood and urine tests to determine how well their kidneys are functioning. In some cases, they may also order an ultrasound or a kidney biopsy to get a better idea of the conditions.

However, nephrologists don’t typically perform surgeries. Operations and surgeries for the treatment of various kidney conditions are usually performed by urologists.
