What is nephrology?
Nephrology is a branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the kidneys. The kidneys play an essential role in maintaining the body's water-electrolyte balance, removing toxins and regulating blood pressure. Any dysfunction can have a significant impact on overall health.
Conditions treated in the nephrology department
Nephrology specialists at Elytis Hospital are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including:
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive and irreversible loss of kidney function.
- Acute renal failure involves a sudden onset of kidney dysfunction that may, however, be reversible if treated promptly.
- Glomerulonephritis is characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli, the essential filtering units of the kidneys.
- Diabetic nephropathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the kidneys.
- Hypertension associated with kidney disease indicates a dysregulation of the renal mechanisms of blood pressure control, contributing to progressive kidney damage.
- Kidney infections, such as pyelonephritis or complicated urinary tract infections.
- Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic condition characterized by the formation of multiple cysts.
