              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 Tacoma, WA has a population of approximately 322,873 people. There are 16 nephrologists near Tacoma, which gives it a ratio of 1 nephrologist per 20,180 residents or a ratio of 1 nephrologist per 7,743 households. There are 123,893 households in Tacoma.
