FAQ
Nephrology is the medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of kidney diseases and disorders.
There are two main types of dialysis:
- Hemodialysis: A process that uses a machine to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood.
Peritoneal Dialysis: A method that uses the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) as a natural filter to remove waste and excess fluids.
Kidney failure, also known as renal failure, occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to effectively filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood. This condition can lead to a buildup of toxins and fluid in the body.
