General Nephrology

General nephrology focuses on the study and treatment of kidney health. The kidneys are vital organs that filter waste, balance fluids, and regulate blood pressure. Nephrologists, or kidney specialists, diagnose and manage conditions like kidney disease, infections, and high blood pressure. They also deal with complications from chronic issues like diabetes. Treatments may include medication, lifestyle changes, and sometimes dialysis or kidney transplants. Overall, general nephrology emphasizes maintaining kidney function and overall health to prevent serious complications.
