Who is a Nephrologist?

A nephrologist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats diseases affecting the kidneys. The kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste products, regulating blood pressure, maintaining fluid balance, and supporting overall health. A nephrologist helps patients manage both acute and chronic kidney conditions while working to preserve kidney function and prevent complications.

Dr. Fowad Shahzad offers expert care for patients suffering from a wide range of kidney-related disorders. Every patient receives a thorough medical evaluation, advanced diagnostic assessment, and a customized treatment plan designed according to their specific condition.

Conditions Treated by Dr. Fowad Shahzad

Kidney Stones

Kidney stones can cause severe pain, urinary problems, and recurrent infections. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and reduce recurrence.

Diabetic Kidney Disease

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of kidney failure. Proper blood sugar management and kidney monitoring are essential to prevent complications and preserve kidney health.

Electrolyte Disorders

The kidneys regulate important minerals such as sodium, potassium, and calcium. Kidney disease may disrupt these balances and require specialized management.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Chronic Kidney Disease develops gradually and may not cause symptoms during its early stages. Early diagnosis and treatment can help slow disease progression and protect kidney function.

Protein in Urine (Proteinuria)

Protein leakage in urine may indicate underlying kidney damage. Timely evaluation helps identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

Blood in Urine (Hematuria)

Blood in the urine should never be ignored. A nephrology evaluation can help identify whether the cause is related to kidney disease, infection, stones, or other medical conditions.

Swelling of Legs and Fluid Retention

Kidney dysfunction can lead to fluid accumulation in the body, causing swelling in the legs, ankles, and feet.

Electrolyte Disorders

The kidneys regulate important minerals such as sodium, potassium, and calcium. Kidney disease may disrupt these balances and require specialized management.

High Blood Pressure and Kidney Disease

Uncontrolled hypertension can damage the kidneys over time. Likewise, kidney disease can contribute to elevated blood pressure. Comprehensive management of both conditions is important for long-term health.
