Frequently asked questions

What do nephrology specialists do?

Nephrologists manage kidney-related disorders like chronic kidney disease, hypertension-related damage, electrolyte imbalances, and dialysis.

What are the consultation fees?

Fees are typically around Rs. 800 to Rs. 1,000 for an outpatient nephrology appointment. Some local physicians charge less for follow-up visits.

Are diagnostics and dialysis services available locally?

Yes, most hospitals and regional centres offer dialysis, kidney biopsy, and advanced labs.

What should I bring for a nephrology visit?

Provide lab values such as creatinine, eGFR, electrolytes, and urine reports. Share blood pressure readings, medications, and symptom details. Note any family history of renal disease.

When should someone see a nephrologist?

Persistent high creatinine, proteinuria, uncontrolled hypertension despite medications, swollen ankles, or electrolyte abnormalities call for nephrology care.

Is dialysis managed locally?

Yes, hospitals in Rajkot host dialysis units under the supervision of certified nephrologists. Treatment schedules and lines are managed in consultation.

Can nephrologists manage transplant patients?

Yes, they oversee both pre‑ and post‑kidney transplant care, immunosuppressive therapy, and monitoring. Referral to transplant centres in bigger cities may be arranged.

Is dietary counselling available?

Yes, nephrologists often team up with dietitians for low-protein, low-sodium, and fluid-restricted plans. Nutritional guidance is crucial to slow disease progression.

How often are follow-ups needed?

Early CKD may need follow-up every 2–3 months. More advanced cases or those on dialysis may require weekly or bi‑weekly visits. Lab testing typically occurs before each visit.

Are online/nephrology teleconsults offered?

Some nephrologists appear on DocIndia for telemedicine. Follow‑up appointments via video are common once lab results are ready.

Can hypertension management be included?

Yes, nephrologists often co-manage resistant hypertension along with cardiac specialists. Treatment plans include medication, diet, lifestyle, and monitoring.
