When you visit a paediatric nephrologist near you in Kolkata, the specialist will inquire about the symptoms and problems troubling the child and take a complete medical history, including family history. A physical examination will follow this to assess the child's overall health with a special focus on identifying any problems related to the kidneys and the urinary tract. Required diagnostic tests are advised, and a treatment plan is devised and discussed based on the diagnosis.
