Nephrology is a specialty of medicine and pediatrics that concerns itself with the kidneys. It is the study of normal kidney function and disease, the preservation of kidney health, and the treatment of kidney disease from diet and medication to renal replacement therapy. Nephrologists have advanced training in treating kidney disease. They diagnose and treat kidney failure and help patients by prescribing medications, offering particular diet advice, and coordinating dialysis care or kidney transplantation when necessary.
