The Nephrology Department at Madinah Teaching Hospital is dedicated to providing exceptional care for patients with kidney‑related diseases and disorders. With a team of experienced specialists, the department focuses on accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment plans, and compassionate support to help patients maintain optimal kidney function and overall well‑being.

What is Nephrology?

Nephrology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the health and diseases of the kidneys. These vital organs filter waste from the blood, balance electrolytes, regulate blood pressure, and support overall metabolic stability. When kidney function is compromised, it can lead to serious health complications. The Nephrology Department offers expert evaluation and treatment for a wide range of conditions to preserve kidney health and prevent further deterioration.

Who Needs Nephrology Care?

Individuals may be referred to a nephrologist for various reasons, including:

  • Persistent high blood pressure

  • Unexplained swelling in feet or face

  • Changes in urination frequency or color

  • Elevated kidney function tests

  • Family history of kidney disease

  • Diabetes‑related kidney complications

The team at the Nephrology Department assesses symptoms, conducts diagnostic tests, and helps patients understand their condition and available care options.
