Comprehensive clinical nephrology care for kidney diseases, including diagnosis, treatment, and management of chronic kidney conditions with expert specialists.
Clinical Nephrology is the branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, managing, and treating diseases related to the kidneys. The kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste, balancing electrolytes, and maintaining overall fluid balance in the body. Any malfunction in these organs can lead to severe complications like hypertension, fluid retention, or even kidney failure.
