Description

The branch of medicine which deals with the causes, diagnosis and treatment of various kidney diseases and disorders is known as nephrology. Some of the prominent causes of kidney diseases are kidney stones, diabetes, hypertension, glomerulonephritis and polycystic kidney disease. There are various treatment approaches which are used within this field such as medications, dialysis and kidney transplantation. Medications can be used to manage the underlying causes and symptoms of kidney diseases. They are also used to control blood pressure, manage diabetes, reduce inflammation and treat infections. Dialysis is a treatment that performs the functions of the kidneys artificially when they are unable to do so effectively. It involves removing waste products and excess fluids from the blood using a machine. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of nephrology. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area of medicine as well as for experts.
