Critical Care Nephrology

Critical Care Nephrology is a specialized area of medicine that focuses on kidney health in patients who are critically ill, often in intensive care units. When the kidneys are not functioning properly due to severe illness, injury, or surgery, nephrologists work to manage these issues by monitoring kidney function, providing treatments like dialysis, and addressing complications. The goal is to support the kidneys and overall health during critical times, helping patients recover and preventing long-term damage. This field combines knowledge of both nephrology and critical care medicine to provide comprehensive care for kidney-related problems in severe cases.
