Nephrology

Nephrology is a field of medicine that focuses on kidney health. Nephrologists specialize in diagnosing and managing diseases that affect the way your kidneys function. These diseases can disrupt how your kidneys clean your blood and produce hormones and vitamins your body needs. Common conditions treated in nephrology include kidney disease, high blood pressure, kidney stones, and electrolyte imbalances. Nephrologists can provide treatments like medication, dialysis, or even kidney transplants.
