• Diabetes and diabetic nephropathy

• Glomerular disease

• Cystic kidney disease

• Inflammation of blood vessels in the kidneys

• Kidney stones

• Urinary tract infections

• Kidney cancer

• Management of dialysis and transplant patients (ESRD)

Nephrologists treat these disorders by either medications, dialysis (when kidneys do not function), and sometimes transplantations.

There are certain warming signs of kidney disease that one should look out for. These are:

• High blood pressure

• Swelling of the face and ankles

• Puffiness around the eyes

• More frequent urination (especially at night)

• Foamy urine

• Rusty or brown colored urine
