Nephrology & Hepatology
This specialty addresses diseases of the kidneys and liver, from acute injury to chronic end-stage disease.
- Acute Kidney Injury (KDIGO staging, prerenal/intrinsic/postrenal, dialysis indications)
- Cirrhosis (Child-Pugh/MELD scoring, portal hypertension, transplant evaluation)
- Glomerulonephritis (nephritic vs nephrotic, IgA nephropathy, ANCA vasculitis)
- Hepatitis C (HCV genotypes, direct-acting antivirals, SVR, cirrhosis prevention)
- Hepatorenal Syndrome (functional AKI in cirrhosis, splanchnic vasodilation, terlipressin, albumin, liver transplant)
- Hypertensive Nephropathy (hypertensive kidney disease, APOL1 variants, AASK trial, SPRINT trial, malignant nephrosclerosis)
- IgA Nephropathy (Berger's Disease) (mesangial IgA deposits, OXFORD MEST-C score, sparsentan, complement inhibitors)
- Kidney Disease (CKD stages, GFR estimation, renal replacement therapy)
- Kidney Stones (nephrolithiasis, stone types, ESWL, ureteroscopy, dietary prevention)
- Liver Disease (hepatic disorders, liver function tests, management)
- MASLD (Fatty Liver Disease) — Formerly NAFLD (NAFLD/NASH → MASLD/MASH, steatohepatitis, FIB-4, elastography, resmetirom, semaglutide)
- Nephrotic Syndrome (proteinuria, minimal change, FSGS, membranous nephropathy)
- Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD, PKD1/PKD2 genetics, cyst growth, brain aneurysm risk, tolvaptan)
