NEPHROLOGY
Nephrology is a medical specialty focused on the study of kidney function and diseases. A nephrology doctor, or nephrologist, diagnoses, treats and manages kidney problems, including kidney stones, renal failure and advanced disorders like cancer. A nephrologist in Brooklyn could save your life someday. Come see our primary care physician to get evaluated and referred to a nephrologist if necessary.

Since hypertension and obesity contribute significantly to kidney diseases, specialized kidney-friendly diets are becoming more popular.

Nephrologist doctors who stay current about managing renal disorders turn to diet as a natural remedy. Ask your doctor how changing your diet can help strengthen your kidneys.

When choosing a nephrologist in Brooklyn, you must understand the difference between a nephrologist vs. urologist. Both treat kidney problems, but a nephrology doctor relies on nonsurgical methods — such as dialysis and renal replacement therapy — to treat kidney conditions.

Urologists use surgical techniques to correct disorders of the urinary tract and kidneys.

Many surgical interventions for kidney problems are available. If a surgical approach becomes necessary for you, you can be sure that your nephrology doctors will refer you to a urologist who can perform it.

Their repertoire includes:

Minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures
Renal replacement therapy
Even a kidney transplant
Managing Chronic Kidney Disease for the Long Term
Chronic kidney disease covers a range of disorders that can lead to a gradual and long-term loss of kidney function unless they’re managed and treated by a nephrologist. Chronic kidney disease is caused by any number of conditions, including:

High blood pressure
Diabetes
Inflammatory conditions
Urinary tract obstructions
When treating chronic kidney disease, nephrology doctors focus on treating the underlying cause and slowing the progression of damage.
