Top 5 Follow-up Cases Of Kidney Disease Doctors in Jordan 2026

When do you need kidney disease follow-up?

Nephrologists look after people whose kidneys are not working as well as they should, or who are at high risk of kidney damage. Follow-up means regular review over months or years. It usually covers blood tests that estimate kidney function (eGFR), urine tests for protein or albumin, blood pressure checks and a review of your medicines. The aim, in line with mainstream guidance, is to slow progression, manage complications and plan ahead if kidney function keeps falling.

People commonly referred for nephrology follow-up include those with:

• Chronic kidney disease (CKD) found on routine blood or urine tests
• Diabetes or high blood pressure with signs of kidney involvement
• Protein or blood in the urine, or glomerulonephritis (inflammation of the kidney filters)
• A recent episode of acute kidney injury
• Advanced kidney disease where dialysis or transplant may need to be discussed
• Ongoing dialysis, or life after a kidney transplant
• Kidney disease or high blood pressure during pregnancy

Early CKD often causes no symptoms, which is why test results matter. Book a visit, or ask your family doctor for a referral, if your tests show reduced kidney function or protein in the urine. You should also book if you notice persistent ankle or eye swelling, foamy urine, blood in the urine, or new tiredness alongside known kidney problems.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if you or someone with kidney disease has:

• Very little or no urine over a day
• Severe shortness of breath, chest pain or a fast irregular heartbeat
• Confusion, extreme drowsiness or a seizure
• Rapid swelling with sudden weight gain
• Fever with pain in the side or back, or blood in the urine with severe pain
• After a transplant: fever, pain over the transplanted kidney or a sudden fall in urine output
• On dialysis: bleeding, redness or swelling at the access site, or a high fever

How to choose among the doctors here

All five nephrologists listed publish kidney disease follow-up and practise in Amman. Matching your situation to each profile's published services will narrow the choice.

• Your stage and needs. Pre-dialysis planning, dialysis follow-up and transplant follow-up appear across several profiles. If you have had a transplant, check which doctors list medical transplant follow-up as a named service. Dr. Kawar and Dr. Saeed both list it, and transplant is a subspecialty interest on three profiles.
• Underlying cause. Diabetic kidney disease is named on Dr. Al Syouri's profile. Glomerular and autoimmune kidney disease appear on Dr. Rasheed's and Dr. Saeed's. Proteinuria and diuretic management appear on Dr. Qatash's.
• Pregnancy. Kidney disease review during pregnancy is listed by Dr. Kawar and Dr. Saeed.
• Procedures. Dr. Rasheed's profile mentions coordinating kidney biopsy at an appropriate facility. Ask any doctor how investigations are arranged.
• Practicalities. Follow-up is long term, so location, hours and insurance count. You may visit every few months for years.
• Language. Dr. Saeed's profile lists Arabic and English. For other doctors, ask the clinic.

The list order reflects how complete each profile is, not which doctor will suit you. If you searched for the best doctors for kidney disease follow-up in Jordan, treat this page as a starting point for your own comparison.

What to expect at the first visit

The first appointment is usually longer than later reviews. The nephrologist will ask about your medical history, family history of kidney disease, diabetes, blood pressure and all the medicines you take. They will examine you, check your blood pressure and review previous results. They may request new blood and urine tests or an ultrasound before making a plan.

What to bring

• All previous kidney blood tests and urine results, ideally with dates, so trends can be seen
• Any imaging reports, biopsy reports or hospital discharge letters
• A list of every medicine, including over-the-counter painkillers, herbal products and supplements. Some can affect the kidneys, so do not start or stop anything without advice.
• Home blood pressure readings, if you take them
• Your insurance card and any referral letter
• For dialysis or transplant patients: your current treatment summary and the details of your dialysis unit or transplant centre

Questions worth asking

• What stage is my kidney disease, and what is likely causing it?
• Which results should I watch, and how often will I need tests?
• What blood pressure or blood sugar targets apply to me?
• Are any of my current medicines a concern for my kidneys?
• What diet or fluid advice applies to me specifically?
• At what point would dialysis or transplant be discussed?
• Who should I contact between visits if something changes?

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

Several profiles list accepted insurers. Dr. Kawar lists eight and Dr. Al Syouri lists six. Dr. Qatash and Dr. Rasheed each list Arab Orient Insurance. Insurer lists can change, so confirm with both the clinic and your insurer before you go.

Before booking, ask:

• Is my specific insurance plan accepted at this clinic, and is a referral or pre-approval needed?
• What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit priced differently?
• Are laboratory tests and ultrasound done on site or elsewhere, and are they covered?
• How long is the wait for a first appointment and for follow-ups?
• If results come back abnormal, how will the clinic contact me?

If you will need regular tests, ask whether they can be done at the same visit to save trips.

Getting there

All five listed doctors practise in Amman, in different districts:

• Abdali: Dr. Bisher Kawar, Abdali Hospital Outpatient Clinics
• Tla' Al Ali: Dr. Jawad Al Syouri, Ibn Al-Haytham Hospital Outpatient Clinics
• Fifth Circle: Dr. Ismaeel Qatash
• Jabal Amman: Dr. Ahmad Yousef Rasheed, Al Khalidi Medical Plaza, and Dr. Fouad Riad Saeed, Jordan Hospital and Medical Centre Outpatient Clinics

If you are travelling from outside Amman, allow extra time for traffic and parking, and ask the clinic for directions when you book. Check the map location on each profile where it is shown. Long-term follow-up is easier when the clinic is reasonably close to home or work, so factor travel into your choice.
