What is a Nephrologist?
From Home The Virtual Nephrologist:
A NEPHROLOGIST, often called a renal physician or a kidney doctor, is a specialist who, after receiving a medical degree, has completed three years of specialty training in internal medicine and at least two years of further training in the medical treatment of patients with kidney diseases. This training qualifies the nephrologist to diagnose and treat all kidney diseases comprehensively. Nephrologists also deliver all forms of dialysis and therapeutic plasma exchange.
Patients with kidney disease often require medications, and nephrologists adjust these medications according to the level of kidney function. One of the nephrologist’s major activities is the use of an artificial kidney machine or dialysis machine to treat patients with acute and chronic kidney failure. This is called dialysis or renal replacement therapy (RRT).

Arresting the progression of Kidney Failure is our hope and vision.
Controlling and delaying the progression of Kidney Disease is an achievable goal.
