Urology vs. Nephrology

Urology and nephrology are two medical specialties that focus on the urinary system, but they have distinct areas of expertise. Urology is a surgical specialty that deals with the urinary tract, including kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Urologists address structural and functional issues, such as kidney stones, bladder infections and urinary incontinence. Nephrology is a non-surgical specialty that focuses on kidney function and related diseases. Instead of surgery, nephrologists manage kidney-related issues through medication and dialysis.

Although there is some overlap—for instance, both might treat kidney stones or kidney failure—their approaches are different. Urologists might remove a kidney stone with lithotripsy, while nephrologists work to prevent them with medical management.
