What does nephrology cover?

Nephrology deals with everything related to how the kidneys work and what happens when they don’t. The kidneys are vital organs that:

• Filter waste and toxins from the blood
• Balance fluids and electrolytes (like sodium and potassium)
• Help control blood pressure
• Produce hormones that regulate red blood cells and bone health

Common conditions studied in nephrology

Some of the main problems nephrologists treat include:

• Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
• Acute kidney injury (AKI)
• Kidney stones
• Glomerulonephritis
• Hypertension (since it strongly affects kidney health)
