Top 4 Management Of Diuretics Doctors in Jordan 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Nephrology is the branch of medicine concerned with the kidneys and with the fluid, salt and blood pressure balance they help control. Diuretics, often called water tablets, are one group of medicines that nephrologists review. They help the kidneys pass more salt and water in urine, and doctors use them for several conditions that cause fluid to build up or that affect blood pressure. Because the right medicine and dose depend on kidney function, blood test results and your overall health, a doctor should review them rather than changing them on your own.

Consider booking a visit if you notice:

• swelling in the ankles, legs, feet or around the eyes that does not settle
• passing noticeably more or less urine than usual over several days
• blood pressure readings that stay high or swing widely
• foamy urine, or blood in the urine
• dizziness when you stand up, or cramps and weakness you cannot explain
• a known kidney condition, dialysis or a kidney transplant that needs regular review

Seek urgent help rather than waiting for a clinic appointment if you have severe breathlessness, chest pain, fainting, a fast or irregular heartbeat, confusion, very little urine for many hours, vomiting or diarrhoea that stops you keeping fluids down, or sudden severe weakness. Call 911 in Jordan straight away.

This information is general. Only an examination and tests can show what is causing your symptoms.

How to choose among the doctors here

All four profiles list nephrology, and all four list a service covering diuretic medication review or management of diuretics. These practical points can help you narrow the choice:

• Services: check that the services you need appear in the profile. Dialysis, kidney transplant consultation and post-transplant follow-up are listed by some doctors but not all, so match the list to your concern.
• Location: Dr Naseem Mahrouq and Dr Hamed Al-Shakhatra see patients at Istiklal Hospital Outpatient Clinics in Arjan, Amman. Dr Omar Al Rabadi practises at his clinic in Khalda, Amman. Dr Ismaeel Qatash's clinic is at Fifth Circle, Amman.
• Hours: the confirmed hours differ. Dr Omar Al Rabadi's listed hours do not include Tuesday, and Dr Ismaeel Qatash finishes earlier on Thursday.
• Language: Arabic and English are listed for Dr Naseem Mahrouq, Dr Hamed Al-Shakhatra and Dr Omar Al Rabadi. If language matters to you, ask Dr Ismaeel Qatash's clinic directly.
• Insurance: each profile lists its own insurers, and the lists vary widely. Dr Ismaeel Qatash's profile lists one insurer, Arab Orient Insurance.
• Fees: three profiles publish a consultation fee, which is covered in the booking section below.

The order on this page reflects how complete each profile's published information is. It does not indicate which doctor has greater skill, so use the details above to judge fit for your own needs.

What to expect at the first visit

A first nephrology visit usually starts with questions about your symptoms, your medicines and your past results, followed by an examination and a plan for any tests. The profiles here describe consultations used to organise appropriate investigations and ongoing care, so expect a conversation about what tests are needed and how often you will be reviewed.

Bring:

• a complete list of your medicines, including diuretics, blood pressure tablets, painkillers, supplements and herbal products, with how you take each one
• recent blood and urine test results, and any kidney ultrasound or other scan reports
• records of any previous kidney treatment, dialysis or transplant care, if relevant
• home blood pressure readings or weight records, if you keep them
• a written list of questions

Useful questions to ask:

• Why am I taking this diuretic, and how will we know whether it is helping?
• Which blood tests do I need, and how often?
• Which side effects should I report, and how quickly?
• What should I do if I am vomiting, have diarrhoea or cannot drink normally while on this medicine?
• Should I change my fluid or salt intake, and if so, by how much?

Do not stop or change a diuretic or any other prescribed tablet without speaking to your doctor first, even if you feel better.

Insurance, fees and booking

Check your insurance against the list for the specific doctor you plan to see, because the lists are different. Ask the clinic whether your policy covers the consultation and any tests that may follow.

The published consultation fees are 30 JOD for Dr Naseem Mahrouq, 25 JOD for Dr Hamed Al-Shakhatra and 25 JOD for Dr Omar Al Rabadi. For Dr Ismaeel Qatash, ask the clinic for the current consultation fee. Fees can change, so confirm before you travel.

For Dr Naseem Mahrouq and Dr Hamed Al-Shakhatra, appointments are coordinated through outpatient reception at Istiklal Hospital Outpatient Clinics. Dr Omar Al Rabadi's profile asks patients to contact the practice to arrange a consultation, discuss symptoms or review previous investigations. Confirm the date, time and service before you visit.

When you call, you could ask:

• Can the doctor review my current diuretic medicine at this visit?
• Should I bring previous results or scans?
• What is the consultation fee, and which of my insurers are accepted?

Getting there

• Dr Naseem Mahrouq and Dr Hamed Al-Shakhatra: Istiklal Hospital Outpatient Clinics, Arjan, Amman.
• Dr Omar Al Rabadi: Omar Al Rabadi Clinic, Khalda, Amman.
• Dr Ismaeel Qatash: Dr Ismaeel Qatash Nephrology Clinic, Fifth Circle, Amman. The profile biography says patients are seen at Khalaf Medical Complex near Fifth Circle, so confirm the exact location when you book.

A taxi or ride-hailing app is a practical option. Show the driver the area name and ask reception for the correct entrance and parking details before you leave home.
