Nephrology is a medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and management of kidney diseases. Nephrologists working in this field aim to improve the health of patients by examining kidney dysfunctions. As Enodia Health, we work to protect and treat patients' kidney health with our expert nephrologists and modern diagnostic methods in our nephrology units.
Scope of Nephrology
- Kidney failure: Nephrologists deal with the diagnosis and treatment of kidney failure in cases of decreased or complete loss of kidney functions. Chronic kidney failure is characterized by decreased kidney function over time and may require dialysis or kidney transplantation.
- Urinary Tract Infections: Nephrologists deal with the diagnosis and treatment of common kidney diseases, such as urinary tract infections. These infections occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract and can affect kidney function.
- Kidney Stones: Nephrologists deal with the diagnosis and treatment of kidney stones. Kidney stones are solid pieces that form along the urinary tract and can cause pain, obstruction of urine flow, and other complications.
- The Relationship Between Hypertension and Kidney Disease: Nephrologists determine the treatment plans of patients by examining the relationship between high blood pressure (hypertension) and kidney disease. Hypertension can affect the function of the kidneys and lead to kidney disease or worsen existing kidney disease.
- Kidney Tumors and Cysts: Nephrologists deal with the diagnosis and treatment of kidney tumors and cysts. This includes conditions such as kidney cancer (for example, renal cell carcinoma) and benign kidney cysts.
