Nephrologists manage a range of kidney conditions, including systemic diseases that affect the kidneys, such as diabetes and hypertension, and oversee the care of kidney transplants.

Meanwhile, technologists ensure that dialysis machines operate correctly, train patients and staff, and handle equipment maintenance.
