Nephrology
Nephrology is a branch of medicine that deals with the kidneys and their diseases. In a transplant hospital, nephrologists are responsible for the care of patients who are undergoing kidney transplantation or dialysis. They also provide care for patients with other kidney diseases, such as Renal failure, Renal stone, Urinary Tract Infection, Glomerulonephritis, Diabetic Nephropathy, Lupus Nephritis, Resistant Hypertension etc
