What are Nephrology Doctors?

A nephrologist is a physician who is specially trained to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the kidneys, or renal system.

The kidneys are responsible for cleaning the blood and keeping them chemically balanced. A patient may be suffering from decreased kidney function, or kidney failure if the following symptoms are present:

  • Blood or protein present in urine
  • High blood pressure (hypertension)
  • Kidney stones
  • Electrolyte disorder
  • Fluid retention

A nephrologist will determine through urine analysis, blood test, X-ray, sonogram, or kidney biopsy how well the kidneys are functioning and will then prescribe a special diet and exercise program, medication or dialysis - a process by which a machine filters the blood when the kidney is no longer capable of doing so.

The area of Frederick, MD has a population of approximately 120,323 people. There are 5 nephrologists near Frederick, which gives it a ratio of 1 nephrologist per 24,065 residents or a ratio of 1 nephrologist per 9,085 households. There are 45,427 households in Frederick.
