Nephrology Nursing & Critical Care

Nephrology Nursing

A nephrology nurse is a nursing proficient that focus on kidney health. They treat and care for patients that are suffering from kidney diseases as well as those that are at risk of increasing kidney problems. Certain medical complications that nephrology nurses may happenstance include polycystic kidney disease, renal cysts, obstructions, and kidney stones. Since there may be a lot of factors that affect the health of the kidneys, nephrology nurses will typically work with all different types of patients, including children and adults. Nephrology nurses play a significant part in assessing, diagnosing, educating, and treating patients who have advanced or are at risk of developing kidney related problems.

Critical Care

The focussed care of patients whose conditions are lethal and who require complete care and endlessmonitoring, usually in intensive care units are also known as intensive care.

The care of the critically ill with kidney disease characterizes a growing proportion of patients treated by nephrologists in the hospital. As a result, critical care nephrology, melding together the expertise of nephrologists and intensivists, has emerged as a distinct sub-discipline during the past decade.
