Nephrology

A nephrologist is a physician who specializes in the management of kidney diseases and electrolyte imbalance produced by kidney failure. They also care for patients who require routine dialysis. For those patients who require a kidney transplant, the nephrologist works with the transplant surgeons to continue providing care for those patients. After completing medical school, nephrologists spend three years training in internal medicine with two years of additional training in nephrology.
