Internal Medicine, General Medicine Conference-IPSC 2026

Nephrology is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease, such as chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, and disturbances in electrolytes. Internal medicine physicians are responsible for monitoring renal function, changing medications, and arranging for dialysis when needed.

High-technology therapies, including precision pharmacologic care and renal replacement therapy, optimize patient outcomes and quality of life. Internists also direct lifestyle interventions, nutrition advice, and blood pressure management to retard CKD progression.

Coordination with transplant teams guarantees the best pre- and post-transplant care for the patients who need kidney transplantation. In-depth nephrology care within internal medicine enhances patient survival, decreases complications, and promotes long-term renal well-being.
