Nephrology意思

"Nephrology" is a medical specialty that deals with the study and treatment of kidney diseases. Nephrologists are medical doctors who have completed additional training in the diagnosis and management of kidney disorders. They focus on maintaining kidney health, treating kidney diseases, and managing related conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure) and electrolyte imbalances.

Nephrologists may also play a crucial role in the care of patients with kidney failure, including those requiring dialysis (either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) or who are candidates for kidney transplants. They work closely with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care for patients with kidney-related issues.
