Néphrologue
Néphrologues are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease. They work with patients of all ages, from infants to the elderly, and they manage a wide range of kidney conditions, including acute kidney failure, chronic kidney disease, and kidney stones.
Education and Training
To become a nephrologist, you must first complete a bachelor's degree in a science-related field, such as biology, chemistry, or physics. After completing your bachelor's degree, you must attend medical school and earn a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree. Once you have completed medical school, you must complete a three-year residency in internal medicine and a two-year fellowship in nephrology.
