Визначення та Значення "nephrology"

What is "nephrology"?

Nephrology is a medical specialty that deals with the study and treatment of conditions related to the kidneys. Nephrologists, experts in this field, diagnose and manage various kidney disorders, including chronic kidney disease, kidney stones, and kidney infections. They also provide care for patients undergoing kidney transplantation or dialysis, a process that filters waste and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to perform this function properly. Nephrology plays a vital role in maintaining kidney health, managing kidney-related complications, and improving overall patient well-being.
