The subspecialty of internal medicine, nephrology, focuses on the diagnoses and treatment of kidney disease. Kidney disease can develop from existing health issues, including diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Chronic kidney disease can lead to health complications, such as anemia, osteoporosis, a weakened immune system, or an irregular heartbeat. It is important to take charge of your health ahead of time and seek a nephrologist who can treat and manage any kidney issues you may have.
