What are the early signs of kidney disease?

Early signs include fatigue, swelling in the legs or feet, high blood pressure, and changes in urination. Many patients have no symptoms until kidney function declines significantly.

Can nephrologists help manage high blood pressure?

Yes. Nephrologists specialize in treating resistant hypertension—especially when it’s related to kidney disease or fluid imbalance.

When is dialysis necessary?

Dialysis is needed when the kidneys can no longer effectively filter waste from the body—typically when kidney function falls below 10–15%. Your nephrologist will guide you through treatment options well before that point.
