Nephrology

Nephrology

Nephrology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the kidneys and their functions, diagnosing and treating conditions like chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney failure, hypertension, electrolyte imbalances, and nephrotic syndrome. It involves dialysis, kidney transplantation, and medications to manage kidney-related disorders. Advances in renal replacement therapy, precision medicine, and transplant immunology have improved treatment outcomes for patients with kidney diseases.
