Nephrology
Please I need some answers for my questions
1)What are nephrologist's duties & responsibilities?
2)How is nephrology expected to change?
3)Any new developments ocurring?
4)Any important research being done?
5)What career or job opportunities are there in this field ?
6)What is the relevance or importance of this specialty to the world?

TV Nephrologists
Instead of having to delete a certain TV character every few days maybe there should be a popular culture section?
Popular culture
Actor Hugh Laurie portrays a nephrologist on the fictional TV show House. BillpSea 01:26, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
- In addition to fictional doctors a popular culture section could address renal myths - for instance the "stolen kidney" plot line, the "will die without a transplant" plot line.
No, I think even in House MD the main character is not famous for being a nephrologist but for being a "diagnostician" (whatever that silly term means). (It is also very odd to combine renal medicine with infectious diseases in one career - unless he wanted to spend his whole life treating pyelonephritis). JFW | T@lk 21:08, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- Those are compelling reasons to continue the exclusion of that particular TV character. Thanks JFW. The lack of comment in defense by the vandals is also telling BillpSea (talk) 02:44, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- Dialysis and transplant patients, because of their prolonged hospital contact and predisposition to infection, are prone to development of antibiotic resistant infections. Further, renal injury is a common complication of sepsis and antibiotic therapy. For this reason, combined training and experience in nephrology and infectious disease is not without its benefits.

The vandalism is from two IPs, both of whom have liberally exceeded the 3RR rule. I have locked the article for four days and blocked both House fans for three. I have asked them to discuss their addition here before attempting to reinsert it against consensus. JFW | T@lk 08:52, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
I noticed this article gets a bit for Gregory House vandalism. Over at Talk:Gregory_House#Georg_Haas.3F, an IP left the most bizarre comment. He basically casually mentioned how he just vandalized this article and now wanted to ask a stupid question. What went through his head? Deamon138 (talk) 21:57, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Merge with Nephrologist
I just stumbled across Nephrologist, and it seems to be the only article about a specialized physician. All other specialists (-ist) redirect to the article of the specialty (-ology). I do not think there needs to be separate articles for the physician and the specialty. Nephrologist is short, and could easily be merged with nephrology. --Scott Alter 16:04, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- I agree the articles should be merged.BillpSea (talk) 19:46, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
History
I had been hoping to see some history of the development of Nephrology. When was the small-scale structure of the kidney, e.g. the glomerulus, the proximal and distal convoluted tubes, and the loop of Henle discovered? I suppose, I could look up Henle and Bowman for when they did their work, but I think that some of that should appear here, and that would be only part of the story.
