Nephrology

Nephrology is the medical specialty dedicated to kidney health, focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases and disorders. The kidneys are vital organs that filter waste products from the blood, regulate fluid balance, control blood pressure, produce hormones, and maintain electrolyte balance. Kidney diseases can range from acute infections to chronic kidney disease and kidney failure, significantly impacting overall health and requiring specialized care.

Kidney problems can arise from various causes and conditions:

• Diabetes: High blood sugar damages kidney blood vessels, the leading cause of chronic kidney disease
• Hypertension: Uncontrolled high blood pressure damages delicate kidney filtering units
• Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation of kidney filtering units due to immune system disorders or infections
• Polycystic Kidney Disease: Inherited disorder causing fluid-filled cysts to develop in kidneys
• Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections: Repeated infections can lead to kidney damage
• Kidney Stones: Mineral deposits blocking urine flow and potentially causing infection and damage
• Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like lupus can attack kidney tissue
• Prolonged Medication Use: Long-term use of certain painkillers and antibiotics can harm kidneys
• Acute Kidney Injury: Sudden loss of kidney function due to severe illness, dehydration, or toxins
• Obstruction: Blockages from enlarged prostate, tumors, or kidney stones
