Urology differs from nephrology

The differences between urology and nephrology are as follows: 1. Urology mainly treats various surgical diseases, such as urinary stones, tumors or urinary tract obstruction, congenital malformations. These all need surgical methods to achieve the goal of complete cure, such as local resection or local reconstruction to restore the integrity of the urinary tract or remove malignant lesions in the body. Nephrology mainly treats internal diseases through drug conservative treatment methods. At this time, it does not combine diseases caused by malignant transformation of organs or stones, congenital malformations, etc. It is acquired pathogenic factors that cause kidney or urinary system diseases, such as various types of nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, common urinary system infection or renal failure. It can be cured or rehabilitated by conservative treatment, conditioning treatment or hemodialysis, and does not need to be removed or reconstructed by surgery to achieve the purpose of rehabilitation. 2. The scope of urology includes reproductive system diseases, while nephrology does not include reproductive system diseases and does not belong to the scope of nephrology.
