Prices in the “Ukraine” column come from MediUkraine’s partner clinics. The Czech Republic and Turkey columns show the lower bounds of prices published by clinics there (for Turkey, also the Turkish Dental Association’s recommended 2026 tariff), collected in August 2026 and converted to US dollars at the rate on the day of collection. A dash means we could not find a comparable published price. In any country, the final cost is set by the clinic after an examination.
A nephrologist assesses kidney function using specific measures: creatinine level, glomerular filtration rate, protein in the urine and blood pressure readings. The doctor can see most of this information in your test results and ultrasound reports, so an initial assessment can be made remotely. Through the MediUkraine platform you connect with specialists experienced in diagnosing and treating glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, kidney stones and chronic kidney disease.
At the appointment the doctor listens to your complaints, compares them with your test results and shows what information is still missing for a conclusion. Then you discuss diagnostic steps (ultrasound, laboratory tests), treatment options and whether an in-person examination is needed. This format suits both a first visit and monitoring of treatment that has already been prescribed.
An online nephrologist consultation is especially useful for monitoring during drug treatment. The specialist writes recommendations and prescriptions that you can follow with your own doctor or clinic at home.
You can book through MediUkraine at a convenient time, without waiting lists or travel costs.
Travel. Ukrainian airspace is closed, so there are no commercial flights. Uzhhorod lies right on the border with Slovakia and close to Hungary, so patients usually arrive overland from one of these two countries, by car, bus or train.
Visas. Citizens of the EU, the United Kingdom and the United States do not need a visa for short stays in Ukraine. Rules depend on your citizenship, so check your own before booking.
Safety, plainly. Ukraine is at war. Air raid alerts occur across the country, including in Uzhhorod, and an appointment can be interrupted by one. Several governments advise against travel to Ukraine, and while that advice stands, ordinary travel and medical insurance is often void — confirm your cover with your insurer before you commit to anything.
Language. MediUkraine handles correspondence, scheduling, the written treatment plan and the quote in English. The clinic's team communicates with international patients in English.
Payment. You pay the clinic directly. Our coordination service is free of charge for you.

Conservative treatment remains the primary method in nephrology for patients with chronic kidney disease. It includes diet (limiting protein, sodium and potassium), antihypertensive treatment and kidney-protective medicines. Remotely, the doctor tracks creatinine and the glomerular filtration rate and prescribes medicines that slow the progression of the disease. In the early stages this approach delays or prevents dialysis.
Nephrology care for acute conditions covers glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis and acute kidney injury. The specialist assesses test and ultrasound results and prescribes antibacterial or immunosuppressive treatment depending on the cause of the disease. Early contact with a nephrologist through MediUkraine is critical for timely diagnosis and prevention of complications.
Kidney replacement therapy (haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, transplantation) is prescribed for end-stage kidney failure. The nephrologist coordinates your preparation, the choice of method and medical support at every stage of replacement therapy, with monitoring of results at each one.
Recovery after kidney treatment relies on a systematic approach and regular measurement of the same indicators. During rehabilitation, the nephrologist monitors blood creatinine, urea and electrolytes, assesses kidney function from ultrasound results and decides on further treatment. Online consultations on the MediUkraine platform let you receive advice on diet, physical activity and medication without travelling to the clinic.
During convalescence, particular attention is paid to blood pressure control: high blood pressure directly affects how quickly kidney dysfunction progresses. The nephrologist chooses antihypertensive treatment individually, taking into account glomerular filtration and the presence of proteinuria. It is convenient to schedule a follow-up video appointment on the MediUkraine platform as soon as you receive your follow-up test results.
The length of the rehabilitation period depends on the severity and origin of the disease. Preventive video appointments with a nephrologist help detect complications in time and prevent unnecessary polypharmacy.
A video appointment with a nephrologist starts with booking on the MediUkraine platform: you choose a doctor by specialisation and qualifications and reserve a convenient time. This format is especially useful for patients with chronic kidney disease who need regular monitoring and adjustment of treatment.
At the appointment the nephrologist takes a detailed history and analyses the results of laboratory and instrumental tests that you uploaded in advance. The doctor assesses kidney function, blood pressure, the presence of proteinuria and other indicators important for making a diagnosis or monitoring the course of the disease. At the end of the conversation the specialist gives recommendations on medication, diet and lifestyle.
As an intermediary, MediUkraine is responsible for data protection, a reliable video connection and storage of medical documents. After the appointment you receive a written conclusion with prescriptions and recommendations, which stays in your profile. The remote format saves time and maintains the quality of care when the complexity of the case suits this kind of appointment.
An online nephrologist consultation through the MediUkraine platform costs a fraction of the price abroad. Services at private Ukrainian clinics are 60–80% cheaper than in the EU or the USA, with the same level of medical qualifications. The reason is lower costs for running medical facilities, insurance and administration in Ukraine.
Through MediUkraine you avoid additional fees from travel agencies and other intermediaries. The platform connects you directly with nephrologists at the partner clinic, who hold initial consultations online at an affordable price. There is no need to plan international trips or pay for a hotel: the conversation takes place by video from anywhere in the world.
In addition, Ukrainian nephrologists use modern diagnostic methods and medicines at considerably lower prices. As a result, a comprehensive examination and further treatment cost you less. If an in-person appointment or treatment is needed, MediUkraine will help arrange a visit to the partner clinic in Uzhhorod and agree the date.
Safety and quality of care are a priority for consultations on the MediUkraine platform. All nephrologists who provide services through the platform hold the relevant licences and certificates issued by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. This means you are speaking with doctors who are officially licensed and follow the ethical standards of medical practice.
Patient data is protected by encryption and complies with personal data legislation. Appointments take place over secure video channels, which reduces the risk of private information leaking.
The MediUkraine platform, as an intermediary, checks the specialists' qualifications and monitors compliance with service standards. The nephrologists have experience in diagnosing and treating diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract and work at a licensed medical facility. This way you receive a professional assessment of your health from home and without waiting.
📍 Uzhhorod, Ukraine
A multidisciplinary hospital in Uzhhorod, part of a network of medical facilities in western Ukraine: an outpatient clinic, a surgical centre covering 15 specialties and a 30-bed inpatient unit. Its 52 doctors include professors and PhDs; many operations are done as day surgery, with discharge after 1–2 days.
An online nephrologist consultation is a remote appointment in which the doctor reviews your test results, ultrasound findings and symptoms and gives recommendations on the treatment or prevention of kidney disease. It is held by video call or phone, so you do not need to visit the clinic.
The cost of an online nephrologist consultation depends on the doctor's qualifications and the format of the appointment. The price includes a review of the results you provide, a written conclusion and individual recommendations.
See a nephrologist if you have swelling, lower back pain, raised blood pressure, frequent urination or a change in urine colour. Raised creatinine, urea or protein in your test results are also a reason to book.
Before the appointment, prepare your latest blood and urine test results, a kidney and bladder ultrasound report and a list of the medicines you take. Make sure you have a stable internet connection and a quiet place to talk to the doctor.
Yes, a remote appointment is suitable for pregnant women and patients with other conditions. The doctor takes physiological changes into account and chooses gentle treatment from medicines approved for use in pregnancy.
The length of recovery depends on the nature of the problem found and the treatment prescribed. If the appointment reveals functional disorders or an early stage of kidney disease, treatment starts on an outpatient basis without changing your usual routine. Adjusting to the prescribed medicines usually takes 2–4 weeks: during this period the nephrologist recommends follow-up blood and urine tests to assess how well the treatment is working.
If a more serious disease is diagnosed and hospital admission or more intensive treatment is needed, MediUkraine, as a telemedicine platform, will help arrange further follow-up with the nephrologist, including repeat video appointments to monitor progress. Stabilising kidney function may take from several months to a year, depending on the diagnosis. Following the prescriptions and having tests on time allow the doctor to adjust treatment promptly.
The answer depends on the diagnosis and the stage of the disease. Some kidney diseases, such as acute glomerulonephritis or infections, can resolve completely with timely treatment, with kidney function restored. By contrast, most chronic kidney diseases, such as chronic kidney disease, polycystic kidney disease and diabetic kidney disease, are treated to stabilise the condition and slow progression rather than to achieve a full cure.
The outlook and likelihood of remission depend on the stage of the disease at diagnosis, the effectiveness of the treatment and how closely the patient follows medical advice. That is why a timely nephrologist consultation is critical. Through the MediUkraine platform you can book an online consultation with an experienced nephrologist who will carry out an initial assessment, interpret your test results and decide on the treatment approach for your case.
