Nephrology is an internal medicine speciality that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases. Specialists in Nephrology are known as Nephrologists. Nephrologists are also referred to as renal specialists because renal is used to describe anything involving, affecting, and surrounding the kidneys.
Nephrologists are involved in the study of systemic conditions that affect the kidneys such as diabetes and autoimmune diseases. Along with diseases that occur as a result of kidney diseases such as hypertension or hypothyroidism. Generally, Nephrologists often care for patients for a long period, managing their kidney problems through end-stage renal failure. If none of these treatments works, patients may be referred for dialysis or a kidney transplant.
SYMPTOMS
Kidney diseases can be classified into two types
Acute Kidney Injury If the kidney function fails within just a short time it is known as Acute Kidney Injury.
Chronic Kidney Diseases If the kidney fails gradually over months or years then it is known as chronic kidney disease.
Symptoms of these types may overlap but the speed and nature of symptoms developed will provide nephrologists with all the information they need.
Unfortunately, most people may not see symptoms until their kidney diseases get worse. The earlier you recognize these symptoms the better it would be.
Here are some of the symptoms you’ll notice during the early stages of kidney diseases.
- Acute renal failure, is a sudden loss of renal function
- Chronic kidney disease, declining renal function, usually with an inexorable rise in creatinine.
- Hematuria, blood in the urine
- Proteinuria is the loss of protein especially albumin in the urine
- Kidney stones are usually only recurrent stone formers.
- Chronic or recurrent urinary tract infections
- Hypertension that has failed to respond to multiple forms of anti-hypertensive medication or could have a secondary cause
- Electrolyte disorders or acid/base imbalance

TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR NEPHROLOGY DISEASES
Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT)
Acute Kidney Injury or sudden kidney failure leads to fluid and uremic toxins building up in the body. At such times the CRRT process is used to filter out all the wastes and water from the body gently. CRRT is a blood purification therapy in which a patient’s blood passes through a special filter. A filter that removes fluid and uremic toxins and returns clean blood to the body.
This process is a time-consuming process usually done for 24 hours and more to help patients with unstable blood pressure and heart rates. It is used in two types of the process such as hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.
OTHER KIDNEY DIALYSIS OPTIONS
Dialysis
- In-center hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis

Liver Dialysis (MARS Therapy)
The Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System or MARS therapy is one of the most prominent techniques for liver dialysis. Liver dialysis is performed to buy time for people suffering acute kidney failure. Later medical professionals may recommend liver transplants or surgical treatment.
