@sammyloue I am not so sure it is because they don't care, so much as the kidney and how they relate to our body's very function is a highly specialized area. From my experience, I feel like I know more than my general doctor about kidneys and kidney function, but way less than my nephrologist. Because the kidneys impact many systems, a generalist simply doesn't have the education to address it all, and will hopefully refer to a nephrologist.

Be wary of the computer searches. "Dr. Google" can lead you down a rabbit hole, definitely! Trusted websites like Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, National Kidney Foundation, etc. offer sound information.

How are you doing today, any questions I can answer for you?
