Nephrologists play a vital role in the hospital setting as they see patients with renal issues on the critical care, medicine and surgery services. They also oversee inpatient hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and continuous renal replacement therapy. In the outpatient setting, they diagnose and manage patients with a variety of renal diseases and oversee outpatient chronic dialysis therapy. This rotation will provide the student with a working knowledge of the diagnosis and management of the most common renal disorders, including acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, fluid imbalance, electrolyte disorders, acid-base disorders, glomerular disease (glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndromes), nephrolithiasis, and the effects of systemic disease on the kidney. Additional opportunities for further education in urologic disorders, basics of diagnostic testing (urinalysis, stone analysis, imaging studies, renal biopsy, and urine electrolytes/osmolality) and therapeutic intervention (hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, continuous renal replacement therapy) may be provided. The student will attend weekly Grand Rounds and Internal Medicine block conference.
