Renal Tuberculosis Will Be Treated By An Urologist Or A Nephrologist?
Do I need a urologist or a nephrologist for treatment of renal tuberculosis? I live in Texas and I'm having trouble locating a physician in this speciality. All the physicians that I've called have not treated anyone with this. Would you please give me names/locations of a physician/s in Texas that has or had experience with renal TB?
Thank You, Judy

Hello welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.
Uncomplicated renal tuberculosis can be treated by nephrologist doctor. Anti tuberculosis therapy should be started for that. If renal tuberculosis is complicated with abscess fromation in kidney than urologist consulted as drainage might needed in that case. Kindly mention your reports for giving more comment.
Hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
