Nephrology

• Nephrology is the medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating diseases related to the kidneys. The kidneys play a crucial role in filtering waste, maintaining electrolyte balance, and regulating blood pressure. When the kidneys fail to function properly, it can lead to serious health complications.

  • Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Gradual loss of kidney function over time.
  • Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): Sudden decline in kidney function, often reversible.
  • End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD): Advanced kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplantation.
  • Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation of kidney filtering units, affecting waste removal.
  • Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD): Genetic disorder causing cysts in kidneys.
  • Diabetic Nephropathy: Kidney damage due to long-term diabetes.
  • Hypertensive Nephropathy: Kidney damage resulting from high blood pressure.
