Interventional Radiology in Nephrology

Interventional Radiology in nephrology is a medical specialty that uses imaging techniques, like X-rays or ultrasound, to guide minimally invasive procedures related to kidney issues. This may involve placing catheters to treat conditions such as kidney stones, finding blood clots, or even performing biopsies to diagnose kidney diseases. The main advantage is that these procedures often require less recovery time compared to traditional surgery, allowing patients to return to their daily activities more quickly, while still effectively treating kidney-related conditions.
