What is a Nephrologist?

What is a Nephrologist?
A nephrologist is a physician who has been educated and trained in kidney diseases, kidney transplantation, and dialysis therapy. Nephrology is classified as an internal medicine subspecialty. Knowledge of internal medicine is required to obtain certification. Nephrology is to the kidney, as cardiology is to the heart.
