About Nephrology

Nephrology treats medical renal diseases regardless of acute / chronic, primary / secondary, from "diagnosis of hematuria / proteinuria found in health examinations" to "prevention of progression of renal failure". It is a department to do. In addition to kidney diseases such as nephritis and nephrotic syndrome, we have been actively providing lifestyle guidance centered on diet and planning treatment methods for patients with diabetic nephropathy and nephrosclerosis, which have been on the rise in recent years.
