La néphrologie est la spécialité médicale visant à prévenir, diagnostiquer et soigner les maladies des reins. Elle est différente de l'urologie, spécialité chirurgicale s'intéressant à l'appareil génital masculin et à l'ensemble du système urinaire (reins, uretères, vessie, prostate, urètre).... Le terme néphrologie vient des mots grecs νεφρός / nephrós (le rein) et λόγος / lógos (le discours, la raison). De très nombreuses maladies affectant les reins ne sont pas limitées à cet organe, mais sont des maladies générales (athérosclérose, diabète, etc.).
