What doctor treats kidney disease?
My brother was recently told he has early signs of kidney disease, and our family is worried. We need to know which type of doctor specializes in treating kidney conditions.

I think you need to consult a nephrologist for kidney-related issues. Has anyone else here noticed mild swelling in their ankles before getting diagnosed? I am a bit worried about my own symptoms.

You need to see a nephrologist, yaar. Actually, kidneys are super important, so don't delay it. Just get a basic kidney function test done and show it to a good specialist in your area.

Go to a nephrologist. My dad had some kidney issues last year and the nephrologist managed his medication and diet perfectly. Don't go to random general clinics for this, consult a specialist directly.

A nephrologist is the right specialist for kidney diseases. I track my daily water intake and urine output on my health app, which is a great habit to monitor kidney health. Make sure to get your eGFR and creatinine levels checked.
