Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about nephrology and booking a nephrologist
What is the difference between a nephrologist and a urologist?
A nephrologist is an internist who manages medical kidney diseases (CKD, glomerulonephritis, dialysis). A urologist is a surgeon who treats structural problems of the urinary tract (stones, prostate, bladder).
Can kidney disease be reversed?
Acute kidney injury can often be reversed with treatment. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is generally not reversible, but progression can be significantly slowed with proper management.
What is dialysis?
Dialysis is a treatment that filters waste and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys can no longer do so. There are two types: haemodialysis (machine-based) and peritoneal dialysis (using the abdomen).
