Day of the nephrologist
Every year on March 27, the professional holiday of nephrologists is celebrated – Day of the nephrologist.
Nephrologist specializes in kidney care, helping to first diagnose the problem and then treat it if possible (since most kidney diseases are chronic). A nephrologist takes care of the maximum comfort and quality of life of patients even with incurable kidney diseases.
Interesting facts about kidneys

- Endocrine glands are located above the kidneys, so the kidneys are also responsible for the production of the necessary hormones.
- Usually, the left kidney is slightly larger than the right.
Various seminars, educational events for the public, scientific discussions, etc. are being organized until March 27.
