Nephrology
Nephrology is a branch of internal medicine dealing with
the study of the structure and function and diseases of the
kidneys.
The kidneys are a pair of organs located within the abdomen
below the ribs toward the middle of the back. They are made
of a network of millions of tiny units called 'nephrons' which
are the basic functional unit of the kidneys. The nephrons
filter out toxins, excess nutrients and body fluid and excrete
them in the form of urine into the bladder.
Kidneys are essentially blood-cleansing organs and their main
function is to:
- Excrete liquid waste from the blood in the form of urine
- Maintain a balance of salts and other substances in the
body
- Production of a hormone that aids the formation of red
blood cells
Kidney disorders may be caused by congenital defects, by disease
or by lifestyle. Diseases of the kidney and urinary tract remain
a major cause of illness and death in the United States. A recent
analysis showed that more than 300,000 Americans today have
End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), a condition whereby the kidneys
completely stop functioning and are dependent on artificial
dialysis to stay alive.
The common renal disorders in which surgery is indicated
are:
- Diabetic Kidney Disorder
- Endopyelotomy
- Electrolyte Disorders
- Glomerulonephritis
- Hypertension
