What doctor treats kidney

Kidney problems, help solve some doctors.

When the first symptoms of the disease suspected, the patient must pass the appropriate tests and make an appointment with:

The direction of the medical professional practice	Under no circumstances apply
Therapist	The general practitioner, who needs to contact in the presence of: discomfort or recurrent acute lower back pain; insta story viewer rezey during urination and changes in color or smell of the "waste"; sharp pressure peaks (in the absence of diagnosis - hypertension); hyperthermia; frequent occurrence of retching without prior provoking circumstances. After examining the complaints of the patient, the therapist usually appoints pass complete blood count, urinalysis, and advanced Nechiporenko urine. After studying the results of analyzes and diagnosis of renal pathology, general practitioner gives direction to visit doctors, whose occupation has a narrower focus.
Urologist	The doctor, whose occupations are associated with diagnosis and treatment (surgical and traditional), diseases of the urinary system. The patient is directed to the urologist in the presence of complaints such as: frequent urination; pain with urination; discomfort in the lumbar spine; decreased libido; unstable erection (true for men); pain in the lower abdomen (particularly common in men) .Before the appointment of treatment urologist usually, in addition to general urine and blood tests required of the kidneys and bladder ultrasound.
Nephrologist	The doctor, whose activity is similar to the medical practice urologist. The difference is that the nephrologist specializes only in the treatment of renal failure, and non-surgical way. To this patient direct or urologist, realizing its incompetence in a particular case or competent physician after evaluation of the patient's complaints. Nephrologist specializes in getting rid of the person: pain during urination; paroxysmal sharp pains in the lower back and mid-back; urinary incontinence; frequent urination; appearance of puffiness. Tests and further examination in this case is assigned for each patient individually.
Nutritionist	Nutritionists recommend to visit not only those with suspected abnormalities in the functioning of the kidneys, but also healthy people about 1 time in 2 years. Without adjusting the diet to restore the normal operation of the genitourinary system is impossible. To do this, nutritionists help these patients: calculated daily kallorazh; determine the balance of nutrients; install drinking regime; get rid of bad eating habits. A dietitian patient normally sends a nephrologist or urologist after a specific diagnosis.

Common clinical manifestations

Kidney problems (symptoms may appear only after 3-4 weeks after the onset of disease in the body) are equally frequent in both men and women. Regardless of gender, urinary system diseases can adversely affect a person's ability to conduct a sexual life and further conceive a child.

Common clinical symptoms of kidney pathologies include:

Symptom existing disease	Description manifestations
Violation of urination, swelling	This is the main symptom in the first encounter at the doctor thought that the body of the patient is disruption of normal functioning of the kidneys. If a violation of urination, everything is clear (most people usually experience the urge to urinate; urination causing discomfort or severe pain), the accumulation of excess fluid is not always seen in time sick. Determine whether there is a swelling, in several ways: slight pressure on the skin, and to see how quickly it will recover its original shape (in the presence of edema at the site of action will be a small dent, which will slowly fade); with the help of measurements of the volume of the hands and ankles in the morning and evening. After removal of the key yardsticks need to compare the performance (edema particularly strong in the evening, which explains the difference in the morning and evening measurements); visually assess the state of his body (with a large amount of accumulated fluid, a person takes more rounded shape, the limbs are the most overweight, the body is reduced to prominence minimum).
urine changes	Changes as urine, which are the first signs of kidney disease can often be identified before the deposit of an analysis. Assessing the appearance and the presence of foreign odor in the waste, each person will be able to understand for himself, if he is required to pass an additional narrow-examination. Alarming symptoms considered to be: red, red, brown, brown urine (normally it should be colorless or have a pale yellow tint unsaturated); turbidity or presence of secondary impurities in total urine (urine of a healthy person is completely transparent even with the availability of pale color); odor, often being compared with the ammonia smell (absence urine smells renal pathologies even with prolonged presence in sterile container) .To be sure that changes in the quality of urine really is, appropriate assessment should be carried out within a few days.
Pain	In the presence of renal disease, pain is usually manifested in different ways. Initially, a person begins to feel discomfort in the lumbar spine. If you ignore this symptom, discomfort is transformed into raking attacks of pain in the same area. With the progression of renal pathology particular pain will increase significantly impairing the quality of life. In addition to back pain in the development of diseases of the genitourinary system man suffering from painful urination. Often, this symptom is confused with bladder dysfunction and incorrect self-start. You should not settle for physiotherapy, appointed by a general practitioner before undergoing a full examination of the body. This may not only aggravate the general condition of the patient, but also inevitably bring it closer to the development of renal failure even after the elimination of this disease.
problem skin	renal disease also influence the skin condition. In the shortest possible time the skin becomes dry, lifeless, takes on an unhealthy hue. In some cases, patients may notice the appearance of acne or acne, even if such problems were previously unknown to them. Given that the concomitant symptom of renal disease is the occurrence of a syndrome of "chronic fatigue", under eyes of a person with kidney disease usually appear blue or gray circles with a clear boundary with the color of the rest part of the face. The skin becomes less resistant to external stimuli: allergic reaction may occur even when a slight impact on skin can remain bruising or bruises, reduced recovery level at breakage (crack and wounds heal slowly and in most cases leave behind scars, scarring or pigment spots).
convulsions	With existing kidney disease muscle cramps are permanent or "chronic" character. It reduces the patient's limb each time with the slightest exertion. In the most advanced forms of pathology triggers seizures in humans, even during sleep. Such phenomena result from acute deficiency in magnesium and potassium. In progressive renal pathologies nutrients not absorbed, whereby the patient is diagnosed deficiency disease that affects the operation of all systems of the body in general. In addition to lack of trace elements, the cause of convulsions in humans with impaired kidney function is the increased amount of liquid accumulated underneath the skin. Swelling as if overlapping the course of blood circulating in the body, due to impaired blood circulation and nerve endings are pressed. All this leads to the fact that the patient begins to reduce limb with it, regardless of the provisions adopted by them and the surrounding circumstances.
Chills	Chills - a condition most often manifests itself at an early stage of development of ARI or ARI. It is for this reason that many patients do not immediately go to the doctor for examination of the kidneys, thinking that this will take place as a symptom of the destruction of the body of the virus that has entered inside. When a man throws a chill in the heat and cold, it feels weak. Some patients say that in such circumstances feel pain or discomfort when the skin is touched. Chills considered "incoming" symptom of renal diseases. He is not observed in all patients, and has a periodicity of the character (for example, there may be 1 time during the day and pass on their own after 3-4 hours). To ensure that this condition is caused by the body really renal insufficiency should be closely monitored for the appearance of fever and to fix the frequency of its manifestations. These records will help the doctor to determine the future direction of the primary examination of the patient.
Changes in taste perception	Changes in the perception of flavors usually appears already at an advanced stage of kidney disease. The most common symptom of this find themselves ill female. Food becomes tasteless and acquires a strange flavor objectively hue. For example, a meat dish may seem sweet and dessert or strawberry jam - salty or bitter. The vast majority of patients suffering from kidney dysfunction, note also that the neutral food and even ordinary water becomes for them a metal taste. Such changes are due to the fact that products of kidney malfunction is not excreted in the urine, but accumulate in the organism, stimulating receptors via systemic circulation. In addition to renal pathologies, such conditions may be evidence of violations of the gallbladder, liver and even the cardiovascular system.
Bad breath	Bad breath occurs for the same reason as the change in taste perception in patients with renal dysfunction. Due to the lack of ways to remove toxins from the body, processed by the kidneys, "waste" waste products accumulate, fall into the gastrointestinal system and stagnate in it. This leads to the mouth of the patient respiration and off-flavor nesvezhesti (ammonia odor). To get rid of this symptom manifestation impossible by conventional methods such as rinsing the mouth, teeth cleaning (including a qualified professional dentist) or eating that can "kill" smell in stomach. Persistent bad breath that lasts for several days should be a cause for immediate treatment to the therapist, rather than to a dentist. Just be sure that the kidneys are functioning normally, the patient direct to examine the oral cavity in order to detect abnormalities in it.
Poor appetite, nausea	Decreased appetite and occurrence of nausea and vomiting due to the fact that in absolute most cases, the pressure rises in progressive kidney diseases in humans and Body temperature. Such states are often ignored by patients perceive them as understandable consequences of what happened earlier.
Irregular heartbeat	Malfunctions of the cardiovascular system in renal disease provoked by an excessive amount of potassium is not digested adequately. Given the fact that the jumps are symptomatic heart rate plurality diseases determine precisely their connection with kidney dysfunction, only allows a number of laboratory tests. In order to diagnose the existing pathology, the patient before the doctor's reception should be returned to at least baseline tests (urinalysis, complete blood count). This will save time in determining the direction of further investigation and setting the correct diagnosis.
Thirst, dry mouth	Kidney problems (symptoms may vary depending on the degree of "neglect" disease) may be expressed in the presence of a constant feeling of thirst and dryness of the mouth. Such a state is commonly associated with disturbances in the cardiovascular system, or the temperature rises. Such a state is not only causes discomfort to the patient, but also can cause dehydration, even despite the presence of edema (a large amount of accumulated liquid).

Kidney problems, the symptoms of which are described above, may also be manifested in the appearance of the patient:

• elevated body temperature on a continuous basis;
• syndrome of "chronic fatigue";
  
• groundless irritability.

Symptoms of kidney pain in women

Kidney problems (symptoms may vary, not only from the stage of the disease, but also according of sex pathology carrier) in women occur in the event of some symptoms.

For example:

• headaches;
• increase in blood pressure;
• swelling;
• decrease in visual acuity;
• syndrome of "chronic fatigue";
• discomfort in the lumbar spine;
• appetite suppressants;
• abrupt jumps weight (depending on the genetic predisposition of a particular human kidney disease can provoke weight loss, or conversely, the rapid collection of fat mass);
• rashes or pronounced pigmentation of the skin (usually amazed face, back, arms and legs);
• pain during urination;
• lower abdominal pain.

In view of the similarity of the symptoms of kidney disease with the most frequent pathologies of the genitourinary system, women have been found in itself one of the above displays, hurry to make an appointment to a gynecologist, thereby losing time and "running" real disease.

In order to avoid the undesirable consequences it is necessary to abandon the self-appointment further examination and treatment of stroke, and visit general practitioner, who, after analyzing the complaints and the results of laboratory analysis of the patient will be able to properly direct it to the right specialist.

Signs of kidney pain in men

Renal pain in men in most cases pushes them to think about the need to visit a urologist in order to verify their "male" health. In this case, the campaign will not be so critical to a specialist, as in the case of female patients, since urologist, nephrologist along with it will be able to promptly identify kidney disease and prescribe appropriate treatment.

The most common symptoms of kidney disease in men are:

• occurrence of nausea, especially in the morning;
• fever;
  
• the appearance of blood in the urine;
• the accumulation of large amounts of liquid, than for the most part in the lower limb region (regardless of the time of day);
• pain during urination;
• decreased libido;
• problems with erection.

Despite the fact that men who have kidney problems, account for only 15% of the total treated patients with similar diagnoses manifestation of pathologies in which extends in a acute form. Moreover, delay in treatment in this case can even lead to death.

Given that the symptoms people are rarely associated with the manifestation of the disease, a timely start to treat kidney manage a very small number of patients, regardless of their gender.

To avoid complications, take a scheduled scan in the main physicians (eg, physician, surgeon, dentist, urologist, gynecologist, etc.) necessary for everyone, even in the absence of specific complaints.
