the study of normal kidney function and disease, the preservation of kidney health, and the
treatment of kidney disease from diet and medication to renal replacement therapy.

kidney failure and help patients by prescribing medications, offering particular diet advice, and
coordinating dialysis care or kidney transplantation when necessary.
