Nephrology is a specialty field in medicine that concerns itself primarily with the preservation of normal kidney health and the treatment of kidney disease, as well as those conditions that affect the function of the kidneys, or conditions that are a result of kidney disease.
Nephrologists also study and attempt to control conditions that affect the kidneys, such as diabetes, hypertension, and certain autoimmune diseases.
