Nephrology

Nephrology is a branch of medical science focused on diagnosing and treating kidney diseases, including electrolyte disturbances and hypertension. It also involves care for patients requiring renal replacement therapy, such as dialysis and kidney transplants.

Nephrology studies systemic conditions affecting the kidneys, like diabetes and autoimmune diseases, and disorders that arise due to kidney disease, such as renal osteodystrophy and hypertension. Nephrologists specialize in treating conditions like acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, hematuria, proteinuria, kidney stones, and electrolyte imbalances.

Early diagnosis and timely intervention are essential for maintaining kidney health. Regular screenings and specialized care can significantly improve patient outcomes.
