Nephrology

Your kidneys act as your body’s filtration system, removing waste from your blood through urination. When the kidneys don’t function properly, waste can build up in the body causing health problems such as kidney stones, chronic kidney disease, infections, tumors and kidney failure. Nephrology is the medical specialty focused on the kidneys and urinary system.
