Nephrology

Nephrology is the branch of internal medicine that primarily deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to kidneys. The kidneys are responsible for maintaining the fluids in the body, electrolyte balance as well as acid-base regulation that can be changed as a result of toxins and drug intake.

At Chirayu Hospital, our team of nephrologists treats kidney diseases and dysfunction that can occur due to other risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, for instance, lupus, as well as heart disease.

• Chronic Kidney Disease
• Kidney Infections
