The specialty also includes diseases that affect the skin appendages: hair and nails, and mucous membranes (eg, mouth and genitals).
Another name is Dermatovenereology since the specialty has an important role in the context of sexually transmitted diseases (VD).

Nephrology
Nephrology is the medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis and clinical treatment of diseases of the urinary system, especially the kidney. Sometimes these diseases only affect the kidneys but it is necessary to underline that in most cases the diseases that affect the kidneys are general diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and some immune diseases that cause lesions in various organs and also in the kidneys. Improper use of some drugs in current use as analgesics and anti-inflammatories, for example, can also cause kidney damage. If not diagnosed early and if not treated properly, kidney disease can cause progressive loss of renal function and progress to chronic renal failure. In most of these situations, the loss of renal function can be avoided if patients are observed and followed in early nephrology consultation. The reality is that many patients are only shipped late to a nephrologist doctor, usually when they have moderate or severe renal insufficiency, and in those conditions, kidney failure already has an irreversible character. Often, the best that the nephrologist can do is prevent or delay the worsening of kidney disease, which already has several years of evolution .
The etymological origin of the word comes from the Greek (nephros, kidney + logos, treatise), being nephrology the study of the kidneys, its physiology and diseases of the nephron, the morphological and functional unit of the kidney

Varicose veins are dilated and tortuous veins in the human body. The most common are varicose veins of the lower limbs. Secondary to hepatic cirrhosis they do not have the same pathophysiology and should be part of liver diseases. Do not confuse varicose veins (disease of the superficial venous system) with deep venous insufficiency which may be secondary to a problem with phlebothrombosis (also called thrombophlebitis) or with the presence of telangiectasias or reticular varicose (also called effusion). This last situation is not as many think the first phase of varicose disease as existing classifications still mention it, but an independent entity whose pathophysiology appears to be the difficulty of the capillary drainage of the skin to the subcutaneous tissue, and are linked in most cases to a familial tendency.
