The Department of Nephrology provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases and related disorders...
Nephrology is a branch of science that regulates kidney diseases, advanced fluid-electrolyte/acid-base balance disorders and research and dialysis treatments in advanced kidney failure, prepares cells and kidney donor candidates for kidney transplantation and monitors their treatments both after the transplantation process.
In our hospital, routine biochemical tests used in the diagnosis of kidney diseases, detailed diagnostic analyzes (urine microscopy, accumulating blood cells, inflammation/infection screening, determination of quantitative protein amount, stone analysis, etc.), systemic diagnosis and immunological tests used in differential diagnosis (autoantibodies, complement system). etc.) treatments, kidney donation and cooperation with pathology for nephropathological examination are some of our diagnostic methods.
In addition, kidney ultrasonography, kidney doppler ultrasonography, Voiding cysto-ureterography, kidney and heart excretory system computed tomographic examination β CT renal artery angiography, kidney and central excretory system MR examination, MR renal artery angiography, in preparation for kidney transplantation and whether the donor accepts the organ or not. Examinations are performed to evaluate the relevant immunological risk analysis.
Kidney stones may cause severe pain in the side or lower back, pain that radiates to the lower abdomen or groin, blood in the urine, nausea, vomiting, frequent urination, or pain during urination. Small stones may pass without causing symptoms, while larger stones may require medical treatment.
You should see a nephrologist if you have chronic kidney disease, persistent protein or blood in your urine, uncontrolled high blood pressure related to kidney problems, recurrent kidney stones, declining kidney function, or electrolyte disorders. Early evaluation can help prevent further kidney damage and improve long-term kidney health.
A nephrologist is a doctor who specializes in kidney health. They diagnose and treat diseases affecting the kidneys, including chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney failure, high blood pressure, electrolyte imbalances, and complications related to dialysis or transplantation.
Common symptoms include:
Swelling in the legs, ankles, or around the eyes
Fatigue and weakness
Foamy or dark urine
Decreased urine output
High blood pressure
Nausea or loss of appetite
Difficulty concentrating
If you experience these symptoms, a kidney function test is recommended.
