FAQs – Other Kidney Conditions
1. What other kidney conditions can a nephrologist treat?
Nephrologists can diagnose and treat a wide range of kidney-related conditions, including electrolyte disorders, high blood pressure, kidney stones, diabetic kidney disease, and other conditions affecting kidney function.
2. What are electrolyte disorders?
Electrolyte disorders occur when minerals such as potassium, sodium, or calcium become too high or too low in the body. Kidney problems can affect the body’s ability to maintain a proper electrolyte balance.

You may benefit from seeing a nephrologist if you have abnormal kidney function, persistent protein in the urine, electrolyte problems, difficult-to-control high blood pressure, kidney stones, or other concerns affecting your kidneys.
