Nephrology is a branch of medicine that deals with kidney diseases, its diagnosis and treatment. It emphasizes on the importance of the protection of kidney health, and the treatment of kidney disease including appropriate diet and medication.
Diagnose at early stage
Kidney disease remains silent without showing any symptoms when it's at an early stage. This is because the body is able to perform normal even where there is a significant reduction in kidney function. In most of the cases, kidney disease is diagnosed in a routine health check- up for another condition, such as a blood or urine test. Early diagnosis helps in treating the condition with proper medication and regular monitoring tests.
