Kidney Failure treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Kidney failure is the partial or total loss of the kidneys' ability to filter waste and excess fluid from the blood. It may present gradually or more suddenly.

Frequent symptoms: Swelling in the legs or face, fatigue, changes in the amount or appearance of the urine and, at times, high blood pressure.

When to see a doctor? It is sensible to seek care when there is unexplained swelling, marked fatigue, or persistent urinary changes, especially if there are factors such as diabetes or hypertension.

Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist is the one who studies kidney function in depth, with support from the internist or the general practitioner in the initial evaluation. Discussing your symptoms with one of these professionals facilitates proper follow-up.
