nephrology
Significado: The branch of medicine that deals with the physiology and diseases of the kidneys.
Nephrologists treat conditions including chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, kidney stones, and glomerulonephritis. They also manage dialysis (artificial filtering of the blood when the kidneys fail) and are involved in kidney transplant care. Kidney disease often develops silently, making early detection a major focus of the speciality. A nephrologist is a kidney specialist.
