Nephrology
Nephrology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of kidney conditions. The kidneys are responsible for removing poisons from our blood, and when not functioning properly, our blood must be filtered mechanically by way of dialysis. The nephrologists at Martin General Hospital place emphasis on restoring normal kidney health and function.
