It is the study of normal kidney function and kidney disease, the preservation of kidney health, and the treatment of kidney disease, from diet and medication to renal replacement therapy. Nephrologists have advanced training in treating kidney disease. They diagnose and treat kidney failure, as well as help patients by prescribing medications, offering special diet advice, and coordinating dialysis care or kidney transplantation when it becomes necessary.
In his free time, Dr. Gohel enjoys playing cricket, going to the beach, tailoring work and spending time with his family. He is currently fluent in English, Hindi, and Gujarati.
