If you experience any of the following conditions, we recommend seeking evaluation by a nephrologist:

• Kidney function issues: If your blood test results indicate problems with kidney function such as elevated creatinine levels, a nephrologist can conduct a more detailed assessment.
• Recurrent urinary tract infections: If you experience recurrent urinary tract infections or infections affecting the kidneys, a nephrologist can investigate underlying causes and provide treatment.
• Changes in urine: Consult with a nephrologist if you notice changes in the amount, color, odor, or frequency of urine.
• Kidney stones: If you have had kidney stones or are prone to developing them.

• If you observe blood in the urine, it could indicate kidney problems.
• Swelling and fluid retention: Some kidney problems may manifest with swelling in the legs, ankles, or around the eyes. If you experience unexplained fluid retention, a nephrologist can investigate.

If you have a family history of kidney disease, we recommend undergoing regular check-ups with a nephrologist to detect potential problems early.
