Questions to Ask Your Nephrologist

A kidney appointment goes better when you bring the right questions. The goal is to leave knowing what your numbers mean and what happens next.

  • What is the most likely cause of my kidney disease?
  • What are my latest creatinine, eGFR, and urine protein numbers?
  • Does my kidney disease look stable or progressive?
  • What blood pressure goal should I aim for?
  • What diet changes actually matter for me right now?
  • Which medicines are protecting my kidneys?
  • What symptoms should make me call sooner?
  • When do I need repeat labs or imaging?

A good nephrology visit should leave you with clarity

Ask about diagnosis, trend, treatment, and timing. Those four areas usually matter most.
