AB The  clinical  management  of  kidney  diseases  is  divided  primarily  between  specialized  internists  (nephrologists)  and  specialized  surgeons  (urologists).  Similarly,  the  pathologic  evaluation  of  kidney  diseases  is  divided  between  specialized  pathologists  (nephropathologists)  who  specialize  in  kidney  diseases  that  are  managed  by  nephrologists,  and  pathologists  (urologic  pathologists)  who  specialize  in  kidney  diseases  that  are  managed  by  urologists.  Nephrologists  and  nephropathologists  focus  on  so-called  medical  renal  disease,  which  includes  nonneoplastic  diseases  that  affect  the  renal  parenchyma.  Urologists  and  urologic  pathologists  focus  on  diseases  that  can  affect  any  level  of  the  urinary  system  from  kidneys  to  urethra,  including  congenital,  infectious,  and  neoplastic  diseases.  This  chapter  reviews  medical  renal  disease,  and  Chapter  14  urologic  kidney  disease.
