The diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases and disorders are the main goals of the medical speciality known as nephrology. The kidneys are essential for controlling blood pressure, balancing fluids, and filtering waste. Chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney damage, kidney stones, glomerulonephritis, and electrolyte imbalances are just a few of the many ailments that nephrologists treat.
Renal function tests, kidney ultrasounds, biopsies, and blood and urine tests are common diagnostic techniques in nephrology. For patients with end-stage renal disease, treatment options include dialysis and kidney transplantation, as well as medication and dietary management.
Since diabetes and hypertension are the two main causes of kidney disease and are becoming more common, nephrology is essential to the prevention, early detection, and long-term treatment of kidney-related disorders, all of which enhance patients' quality of life.
