See a Nephrologist at Haelan Care Medical Centre
The kidneys play a key role in filtering the blood and maintaining the body’s internal balance. When they do not function properly, the whole body is affected. At Haelan Care Medical Centre, you will find experienced nephrologists, modern equipment and an attentive approach to the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of kidney disease.
What does nephrology treat, and why is it so important?
Nephrology is a medical specialty dedicated to kidney care and maintaining the body’s internal balance. It covers the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions related to impaired kidney function, fluid and electrolyte imbalances, and other metabolic disorders.
The kidneys play a vital role. They remove toxins from the blood and regulate blood pressure, electrolyte balance and fluid volume. When this function is impaired, symptoms such as swelling, changes in urination, high blood pressure, fatigue or fluid retention may occur.
Many kidney diseases develop gradually and go unrecognised in their early stages. This makes preventive check-ups and timely consultation with a nephrologist essential. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can prevent serious complications and preserve kidney function for years to come.
What does a nephrologist treat?
Renal hypertension and electrolyte imbalance
Increased blood pressure and disturbances in sodium, potassium or other electrolytes levels associated with kidney dysfunction.
Urinary tract infections with kidney involvement
Acute or chronic pyelonephritis, often accompanied by fever, pain and changes in urine.
Chronic renal failure
Gradual deterioration of kidney function with the risk of fluid retention, anemia and high blood pressure.
Proteinuria and hematuria
The presence of protein or blood in the urine, often without pronounced symptoms, but with the risk of kidney damage.
Kidney stone disease
Stones and sand in the kidneys, accompanied by pain in the lower back, blood in the urine and frequent infections.
Urinary disorders
Frequent, difficult or painful urination, decreased or increased urine output.
What happens during a nephrology consultation?
A nephrology consultation begins with a detailed medical history. The doctor will ask about symptoms such as changes in urination, swelling, high blood pressure and fatigue, as well as any family history of kidney disease. This helps assess risk and guides an accurate diagnosis.
A physical examination follows, focusing on circulation, hydration, swelling and blood pressure.
If necessary, the nephrologist will order additional tests, such as:
Additional research
In certain cases, studies of hormonal balance, autoimmune markers or imaging are assigned for a more thorough evaluation.
Ultrasound examination (echography)
Non-invasive and painless visualization of the kidneys and urinary tract for the detection of structural alterations, stones or inflammation.
Laboratory tests
Tests of urine, blood and indicators such as creatinine, electrolytes and protein, which evaluate kidney function.
Потенциални допълнителни изследвания
Цитонамазка (PAP тест)
Микробиологични изследвания
Хормонални изследвания
Пренатални изследвания
Колпоскопия и HPV тест
След като бъдат анализирани резултатите, акушер-гинекологът поставя диагноза, препоръчва лечение или проследяване, а при нужда – насочва към друг специалист (ендокринолог, онколог, репродуктивен специалист).
Терапията може да включва медикаменти, хранителна добавки, промени в начина на живот, проследяване с контролни прегледи или подготовка за по-специализирано лечение.
When should you see a nephrologist?
Kidney disease can develop gradually without clear symptoms or appear suddenly with acute symptoms. Early signs are often underestimated or attributed to fatigue, dehydration or ageing. Nevertheless, consultation with a nephrologist is crucial for preventing complications and preserving kidney function.
Seek help from a nephrologist if you experience:
- Swelling of the legs, ankles, face or around the eyes;
- Changes in urination, including frequent, infrequent or painful urination, or blood in the urine;
- High blood pressure, especially when it does not respond to treatment;
- Persistent tiredness, weakness or fatigue without a clear cause;
- Foamy urine or protein detected in laboratory results;
- Diagnosed chronic conditions, such as diabetes or lupus, that affect the kidneys.

Kidney diseases are among the most common chronic diseases, which often lead to disability and a deterioration in the quality of life. Many of these diseases develop asymptomatically and can only be detected by changes in the results of urine and blood tests. This often leads to a late diagnosis, which limits the possibilities of successful treatment. Early diagnosis significantly increases the chances of effective therapy.
If you have complaints such as high blood pressure, swelling on the legs, changes in urine indicators and excess weight, seek timely consultation with a specialist nephrologist.
