Kidney doctor in Khulna: nephrologist or urologist?

In Khulna, a "kidney doctor" can mean two different specialists: a nephrologist or a urologist. Seeing the wrong one costs time and money, so first work out which kind of problem you have.

What a nephrologist treats

• High creatinine or urea in the blood
• Swelling of the legs, face or under the eyes
• Protein or blood in the urine
• Kidney damage from diabetes or high blood pressure
• Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the need for dialysis

What a urologist treats

• Stones in the kidney, ureter or bladder
• Burning urine or repeated urine infections
• Enlarged prostate and difficulty passing urine in older men
• Tumours of the kidney or bladder
• Problems that need an operation or laser treatment

Don't wait if you notice

Very little urine, severe pain on one side of the back with fever and vomiting, a lot of blood in the urine, or sudden breathlessness with swelling all over are emergencies. Go to a hospital emergency department straight away.

Before you see the doctor

• Bring previous creatinine, urine test and ultrasound reports
• Bring a list of your medicines — some painkillers harm the kidneys
• Write down your recent blood sugar and blood pressure readings
