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 involve 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.
