Nephrology fellowship

A Nephrology fellowship is a specialized training program for doctors who want to focus on kidney health. After completing a general internal medicine residency, physicians enter this fellowship to gain in-depth knowledge and skills related to diagnosing and treating kidney diseases, managing conditions like chronic kidney disease, kidney stones, and high blood pressure. They also learn about kidney transplantation and dialysis. This training typically lasts two to three years and combines clinical practice with research, preparing doctors to become experts in nephrology and improve patients' overall health and quality of life.
