The complexity of physiology and the multitude of vital functions they perform, make the kidneys the most important regulators of our health. The treatment of their pathology is critical for the survival and quality of life of people. Therapeutically, a holistic approach to patients is always needed. These were the reasons I loved and followed the specialty of nephrology.
