Nephrology is a specialty of adult internal medicine and pediatric medicine that concerns the study of the kidneys,specifically normal kidney function and kidney disease,the preservation of kidney health,and the treatment of kidney disease,from diet and medication to renal replacement therapy. The word “renal”is an adjective meaning “relating to the kidneys”,and its roots are French or late Latin. Whereas according to some opinions,"renal" and "nephro" should be replaced with "kidney" in scientific writings such as "kidney medicine" or "kidney replacement therapy",other experts have advocated preserving the use of renal and nephro as appropriate including in "nephrology" and "renal replacement therapy",respectively.
