Glomerulonephritis
The doctor who studies kidney function can identify glomerulonephritis, an inflammation of the glomeruli, the small kidney structures responsible for filtering the blood. This inflammation affects the kidney's ability to remove waste and excess fluid.
Common symptoms: urine with a foamy appearance or dark color, swelling in the face, hands, or legs, elevated blood pressure, and a decrease in the amount of urine.
Contributing factors: autoimmune processes, prior infections, and other diseases that affect the kidney.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist handles kidney diseases such as this, with support from the internist; in children the pediatric nephrologist takes part. If you notice changes in the urine or unexplained swelling, the recommendation is to have it evaluated by a professional.
