A urologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the urinary tract and male reproductive system. The urinary tract includes the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. Urologists are trained to manage both surgical and non-surgical conditions related to these areas.
Now, in the context of kidney transplants, urologists often play a crucial role in the transplant process. Kidney transplantation is a surgical procedure where a healthy kidney is transplanted into a patient with end-stage renal disease or kidney failure.
The goal is to provide individuals with kidney failure a new lease on life by restoring kidney function through transplantation.
