    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 Cary, NC has a population of approximately 131,592 people. There are 5 nephrologists near Cary, which gives it a ratio of 1 nephrologist per 26,318 residents or a ratio of 1 nephrologist per 10,143 households. There are 50,713 households in Cary.
