Nephrology, for the health of the urinary tract

Nephrology is the specialized branch of Internal Medicine that deals with the urinary tract and, in particular, the kidneys.

At Quisisana, an accredited private hospital, it is possible to undergo a nephrology visit in Ferrara.

What is a nephrology visit

A nephrology examination at Quisisana, for which a fee is charged and which is not affiliated with the National Health System, takes place in a facility that makes experience and specialisation its strong points.

The nephrologist analyses the normal functionality of all the elements that make up the kidneys and examines all the pathologies that may affect them, assessing each time which methodology to use to diagnose the disease with certainty and which therapies and/or operating techniques to adopt to cure any dysfunctions or abnormalities that may be found.

Who is nephrology for?

The nephrologist deals with glomerular/vascular disorders (affecting the functional units of the kidneys or the vessels associated with them) and tubular/interstitial disorders (affecting the renal tubules and surrounding tissues), but also with diseases of mineral metabolism. The pathologies treated by the nephrologist are specifically:

  • chronic kidney disease
  • hypertension
  • kidney stones
  • acute and chronic renal failure
  • polycystic kidney

The doctor and nephrologist Ermanno De Paoli takes care of carrying out an accurate medical history before proceeding to a complete physical examination. Typically, nephrology visits include the prescription and execution of certain tests such as:

  • blood analysis
  • urine analysis
  • biopsies
  • kidney ultrasound
  • x-rays

A nephrological visit is usually done for kidney, hypertension or metabolic problems. Specifically, the nephrologist is used in case of:

  • presence of protein in the urine
  • presence of blood in the urine
  • decreased kidney function
  • recurrent kidney stones
  • chronic or repeated infections of the urinary tract
  • acute renal failure
  • hypertension not controlled by drugs
