Nephrology

Nephrology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases and disorders related to the kidneys. Nephrologists are physicians who specialize in nephrology and are trained to care for patients with kidney-related conditions.

The kidneys are vital organs responsible for filtering waste products and excess fluid from the blood, regulating electrolyte balance, maintaining blood pressure, and producing hormones that help stimulate red blood cell production and control calcium metabolism.

Here are some key aspects of nephrology:

  • Kidney Disease Diagnosis
  • Kidney Disease Treatment
  • Dialysis and Kidney Replacement Therapy
  • Kidney Biopsy

Common conditions treated by nephrologists include chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, kidney stones, glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, polycystic kidney disease, and various other kidney-related disorders.
