Nephrology is a medical speciality dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions affecting the kidneys and the wider renal system. Nephrologists are medical specialists who focus on maintaining kidney health, preventing kidney diseases from progressing, and providing therapies for conditions resulting from decreased kidney function, including dialysis for end-stage renal disease.
At Busamed, our experienced nephrologists work within comprehensive care teams to provide patient-centred renal care. This ranges from initial assessment, diagnostic investigations, and personalised treatment plans through to chronic kidney disease management and advanced renal treatment options.
