Nephrology Consultation

About

A nephrology consultation is a specialized medical appointment for evaluating and managing kidney-related conditions. It includes reviewing kidney function, analyzing blood and urine tests, assessing clinical symptoms, and designing a personalized treatment plan. Through the ZagrebMed platform, international patients can easily access experienced nephrologists at modern clinics across Croatia.

Candidate

This consultation is suitable for individuals with elevated creatinine, protein in urine, high blood pressure, diabetes, or leg swelling. It's also recommended for anyone with a family history of kidney disease or symptoms like fatigue, frequent urination, or foamy urine.

Preparation

Please bring recent lab results (blood and urine), a list of your medications, and any prior diagnostic reports (e.g., ultrasound, internal medicine evaluations) to the appointment.

Treatment

During the consultation, the nephrologist will review your medical history and lab results, perform a clinical exam, and provide treatment recommendations, which may include further diagnostics, lifestyle changes, or referrals to dialysis or other services.

Result

Early diagnosis of kidney issues, improved control of blood pressure and metabolic conditions, slowed progression of chronic kidney disease, and improved quality of life.
