Specialties and Kidney Care Approach
Nephrology focuses on how the kidneys filter blood, maintain fluid balance, regulate minerals, and support blood-pressure control. Dr. Rathi evaluates symptoms, medical history, medications, blood tests, urine studies, and imaging when determining the cause and severity of a kidney problem.
Treatment may include medication changes, blood-pressure control, dietary guidance, laboratory monitoring, or dialysis planning. The recommended approach depends on kidney function, the underlying diagnosis, related health conditions, and how quickly the problem is progressing.
