Overview
Nephrology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the structure, function, and diseases of the kidneys. Nephrologists are medical experts who diagnose, treat, and manage kidney-related conditions, including chronic kidney disease, kidney stones, acute kidney injury, hypertension, electrolyte imbalances, and kidney failure.
The field also involves preventive care, monitoring kidney health, and providing guidance on lifestyle changes, medications, and therapies to protect renal function. For advanced kidney disorders, nephrologists coordinate dialysis or kidney transplantation to improve patient outcomes.
Nephrology plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health because kidneys are essential for filtering waste, balancing fluids, regulating blood pressure, and supporting other bodily functions. By combining medical expertise, advanced diagnostics, and patient-centred care, nephrology aims to preserve kidney health and enhance quality of life for patients of all ages.
