Clinical Nephrology
The diagnosis and treatment of renal disorders, such as primary and secondary hypertension, electrolyte imbalance, and those who require renal replacement therapy, such as dialysis and renal transplant patients, are covered under Clinical Nephrology.
The kidney is susceptible to a wide range of conditions that do not necessarily involve the organ itself and may necessitate extensive treatment. Examples include acquired conditions like systematic vasculitis’s and immune system diseases like lupus as well as innate or inherited conditions like polycystic kidney diseases. After a urinalysis, patients are referred to clinical nephrology specialists for a variety of conditions, including acute kidney failure, proteinuria, hematuria, chronic kidney disease, kidney stones, hypertension, and acid-base or electrolyte imbalances.
