How is it that you think you have Nutcracker Syndrome? The two specialty physicians I think that would be appropriate would be Nephrologist and/or Vascular surgeon. Probably best to search for experts in the field which may mean a little research on your part at some of the bigger Medical Centers, ie Mayo, Duke, John Hopkins etc. Could one of the two Urologists that you have seen suggested a referral?

I don’t know for sure if I do have it, but I think that both urologists have ran every test that they can think of. I looked up the last test they ran to see what they could be looking for and out of all the problems the only one that kind of seems to relate to my symptoms is the nut cracked syndrome. I asked my dr if he has seen it and he said yes but it’s rare, and he cldnt tell me how they would even test for it. He wants to do one more thing before he refers me out to the bigger places but I wasn’t sure which is the best to go to. I have seen a nephrologist and she ran a bunch of blood and urine tests but didn’t find anything either.
