Nephorology

Nephrology is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of kidney-related diseases and conditions. Nephrologists manage a wide range of kidney issues, including chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, kidney infections, and electrolyte imbalances. They also oversee dialysis treatments for patients with end-stage renal disease and work on managing the complications of kidney disorders, such as hypertension and fluid retention. Nephrology involves both medical management and collaborative care with other specialists, especially in cases requiring kidney transplantation. This specialty is essential for maintaining kidney health and ensuring proper filtration and balance of fluids and electrolytes in the body.
