Clinical Nephrology

Clinical nephrology is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating kidney diseases and disorders. The kidneys are vital organs that filter waste from the blood, balance electrolytes, and regulate fluid levels in the body. Clinical nephrologists work with patients suffering from conditions like chronic kidney disease, kidney stones, and hypertension, as well as those needing dialysis or kidney transplants. Through a combination of medical management, laboratory tests, and imaging studies, nephrologists aim to preserve kidney function, improve overall health, and enhance quality of life for those affected by kidney-related issues.
