Nephrology is a medical specialty focusing on the kidney, and the nephrologist treats people with kidney diseases of various types, including those who have lost kidney function entirely and must rely on dialysis or kidney transplant. Because the kidney is intimately involved in the control of blood pressure the nephrologist is also an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). Illness causing abnormalities of the body's water and chemical balance also fall under the purview of the nephrologist.
