JOB DESCRIPTION
Nephrology nurses (also known as renal nurses) are nursing professionals who specialize in addressing, protecting, and promoting kidney health. They care for patients who are experiencing renal (kidney) issues and with patients who may be at risk of developing kidney-related problems. The scope of practice for a nephrology nurse generally includes making an initial patient assessment, which encompasses carrying out a complete medical assessment and then discussing any symptoms that a patient may be experiencing. Nephrology nurses help patients to better understand their conditions and how to better manage them. In addition to this, these nurses may also assist nephrologists with diagnostic procedures like internal imaging, as well as in the examination of a patient's medical history. Medical problems that are commonly addressed by nephrology nurses include End State Renal Disease (ESRD), renal cysts, kidney stones, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), and kidney transplants.
