A nephrologist is a medical doctor who specializes in kidney care and treating diseases of the kidneys. The term nephrologist comes from the Greek word ânephrosâ, which means kidney or renal and âologistâ refers to someone who studies. Nephrologists are also called kidney doctors.
If a nephrologist finds that a patientâs kidneys are not functioning as they should, he or she will help diagnose the cause and prescribe a treatment plan. If a kidney doctor detects kidney disease, he or she will do tests to determine what stage of kidney disease the patient is in and plan the patientâs treatment. The nephrologist will usually refer the patient to a renal dietitian, renal social worker and renal nurse who will help with the patientâs care.
