What diagnostic tests are performed by the nephrologists in India to check the kidney function?

When should I consult a nephrologist?

You should consult a nephrologist if you experience high blood pressure, swelling in your legs, foamy urine, blood in urine, or frequent kidney stones.

What is the treatment option for kidney stones rather than surgery?

Larger stones may need lithotripsy or surgical removal, but smaller stones can be treated naturally with medicine and hydration.

The success rate of a kidney transplantation in India usually ranges between 90% to 95%, depending on the patient's health and condition.
