The Department of Nephrology is a specialized medical department that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and management of kidney disorders. The kidneys are vital organs that play a crucial role in filtering and removing waste products from the blood, regulating fluid balance, and maintaining electrolyte balance.
In addition to managing and treating kidney disorders, the Nephrology department is also responsible for providing dialysis services to patients with end-stage kidney disease. Dialysis is a medical treatment that uses a machine to filter waste products from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to do so.
Some of the common conditions that are treated by nephrologists include kidney stones, glomerulonephritis, chronic kidney disease, and acute kidney injury.
