Nephrology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the kidneys—their function, diseases, and treatment. It includes the diagnosis of kidney disorders such as nephritis, kidney failure, kidney stones, and other related conditions. Nephrologists treat chronic kidney disease, perform dialysis in cases of end-stage renal failure, and are involved in the preparation and follow-up care for kidney transplants.
This medical field also addresses metabolic disorders related to kidney function, such as kidney problems caused by diabetes or high blood pressure.
