Nephrologist in Dubai
What is Nephrology?
Kidney health is essential for overall well-being. The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste products from the blood, producing hormones that regulate blood pressure and red blood cell production, and balancing the body’s fluids and electrolytes. When the kidneys are not functioning properly, it can lead to a variety of health problems, including fatigue, swelling, high blood pressure, and bone disease.
