Topic

The importance of nephrology and hypertension is increasing among the subspecialties of internal medicine. The topic of this curriculum is to introduce the classical nephrology (nephrotic sy., acute glomerlonephritides, urinary tract infections, hereditary kidney disease etc.) and hypertension. We also focus on the complications of diabetes, hypertension and peripheral arterial diseases which are leading causes of end stage kidney disease all over the world.
