Nephrologist Warsaw – Diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases
Nephrology at OpenMed Warsaw – specialized care for kidney health
At the OpenMed Medical Centre in Warsaw, we offer nephrological consultations conducted by Dr. Elżbieta Głuch – a specialist in internal medicine and a nephrologist with many years of clinical experience. In her daily practice, she combines knowledge in internal medicine with a narrow specialization in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases.
Nephrological consultation in Warsaw – how does a nephrologist help?
Nephrology is a branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of kidney and urinary tract diseases. A nephrologist assesses kidney function, analyzes abnormalities in general urine tests (such as proteinuria or hematuria), monitors creatinine levels and glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and conducts therapy for patients with kidney diseases of various origins – metabolic, inflammatory, or autoimmune.
The nephrologist approaches the patient holistically, also analyzing the impact of systemic diseases, such as diabetes or hypertension, on kidney function.
When is it worth consulting a nephrologist?
A visit to a nephrologist may be necessary in case of:
- presence of protein, blood or glucose in urine,
- chronic or difficult-to-control hypertension,
- swelling of lower limbs, face or eyelids,
- decreased or increased amount of urine output,
- abnormal results: creatinine, eGFR, urea,
- chronic diseases such as diabetes, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis,
- diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD),
- need for qualification for dialysis or kidney transplantation.
What conditions does a nephrologist diagnose and treat at our Warsaw Medical Centre?
As part of our nephrological consultations, we diagnose and treat, among others:
- chronic kidney disease (CKD),
- glomerulonephritis, glomerulopathies,
- proteinuria and hematuria of unknown etiology,
- diabetic and hypertensive nephropathies,
- kidney diseases in the course of autoimmune diseases,
- toxic kidney damage (e.g., drug-induced),
- kidney stones in metabolic disorders,
- qualification and preparation for dialysis and kidney transplantation.
How to prepare for a visit?
To ensure an effective visit to the nephrologist:
- bring current test results: complete blood count, creatinine, eGFR, general urine test, ionogram, glucose, lipid profile,
- prepare a list of currently taken medications and supplements,
- bring results of imaging tests (e.g., kidney/abdominal ultrasound, if performed),
- note down symptoms and their duration – this will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis.
