I have two questions. 1. which doctor to consult for kidney related diseases? 2. which doctor to consult for kidney stone problems? thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nephrologist: And possibly urologist for kidney stones depending on size and location of kidney stones. A nephrologist should be ideally involved first. Best to further coordinate referrals will be your GP.
