It encompasses the study of the normal functioning of the kidneys, the treatment of kidney diseases, and the management of patients requiring renal replacement therapy, including dialysis and kidney transplant patients. Nephrology is an essential field in medicine due to the critical role of the kidneys in maintaining homeostasis in the body. For medical students, mastering nephrology is not only about understanding the kidneys but also about integrating this knowledge to provide comprehensive care to patients with renal conditions.
