What is a kidney dr called?
My brother's friend recently had a kidney stone, and he had to go to a specialist. I was just curious, what is the proper name for a kidney doctor? Is it a general physician, or someone else?

A kidney doctor is called a nephrologist. If you are short on time, book an online consultation first with a general physician to see if you actually need a nephrologist or a urologist, as urologists handle the surgical side like kidney stones.

A kidney specialist is a nephrologist. As someone into fitness, I always keep an eye on kidney health by checking my hydration levels. If you are having protein leakage or back issues, definitely go see a nephrologist to get cleared.

It's actually called a nephrologist, yaar. They look after all the medical stuff like kidney function and creatinine. If it's a stone issue, you'll probably need a urologist instead. Simple as that!
