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

Nephrologists in India generally perform various tests to check kidney function, such as blood tests for serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate(eGFR), urine test, ultrasound, CT scans, MRI, and kidney biopsy.

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.
