My responsibilities included shadowing attending nephrologists and fellows during morning rounds and daily consults where I observed patient management in intensive care unit, indoor and emergency room. I used to be an active part of case discussions with the team during patient encounters. I was able to see a variety of patients with nephrological issues including electrolyte disturbance, acid-base imbalance, chronic kidney disease, end stage renal disease, acute renal failure. I also had the chance of observing the procedure of percutaneous kidney biopsy in detail. I used to visit the independent dialysis unit regularly where I learned basic principles and technique of hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and CVVHD (continuous veno-venous hemodialysis).
