Kidney Failure & Renal Care

Clinical Nephrology

It addresses the diagnosis and management of renal syndromes, such as primary and secondary hypertension and electrolyte imbalances, as well as the care of patients requiring renal replacement therapy, such as those undergoing dialysis or receiving a kidney transplant. Many illnesses that affect the kidneys frequently spread throughout the body and are not just restricted to the organ itself, necessitating specialised care. Examples include acquired diseases like lupus, immune system disorders like systemic vasculitides, and innate or genetic conditions like polycystic kidney disease. Following a urinalysis, patients are described to clinical nephrologists for a variety of conditions, including hypertension, acute kidney failure, hematuria, proteinuria, chronic renal disorders, kidney stones, and abnormalities of the acid-base or electrolyte balance.
