Nephrology & Urology
- Nephrology & Urology are medical specialties focusing on the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical care of kidney, urinary tract, and male reproductive system disorders.
- Nephrology deals with kidney-related conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney failure, kidney stones, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, electrolyte imbalance, and hypertension due to renal causes.
- Urology addresses conditions affecting the urinary tract in both men and women, as well as male reproductive health, including prostate enlargement, urinary incontinence, urinary tract infections, bladder disorders, infertility, and cancers of the kidney, bladder, and prostate.
- Nephrologists provide advanced care such as kidney biopsies, dialysis (hemodialysis & peritoneal dialysis), vascular access management, and pre- and post-kidney transplant care.
- Urologists perform minimally invasive and surgical procedures including TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate), ureteroscopy, laparoscopic & robotic urology, urethral reconstruction, prostate surgery, kidney stone removal, and urologic cancer surgeries.
- Pediatric nephrology & urology manage congenital kidney and urinary tract defects, vesicoureteral reflux, undescended testes, and childhood urinary infections.
- Kidney transplantation is a key area of nephrology and urology collaboration, offering advanced surgical techniques and lifelong post-transplant care.
- Preventive nephrology focuses on early detection of kidney disease, lifestyle modifications, diabetes & hypertension control, and screening high-risk individuals.
- Male reproductive urology specializes in managing conditions like erectile dysfunction, male infertility, Peyronie’s disease, and vasectomy or reversal procedures.
- Emergency nephrology & urology address acute kidney injury (AKI), obstructive uropathy, severe urinary retention, kidney stone emergencies, urinary tract trauma, and hematuria.
- Modern nephrology & urology incorporate advanced imaging, endoscopic procedures, laser technology, robotic-assisted surgeries, and precision medicine for improved treatment outcomes.
- Together, nephrology and urology provide comprehensive care spanning medical management, dialysis, transplantation, minimally invasive surgeries, and preventive strategies to maintain kidney and urinary health.
