摘要

Nephrology is a complex field requiring training in diverse topics, including glomerular and tubular diseases, acid-base and electrolyte disorders, dialysis, and transplantation, to mention just a few. Often lost in this academic mission is training in the procedures we perform, such as percutaneous kidney biopsy, placement of temporary dialysis catheters, and even the dialysis procedure itself.
