What department should I visit for a kidney examination?
Disease description:
I have been experiencing frequent kidney pain recently, and I want to go to the hospital for an examination. Therefore, which department should I visit for kidney-related tests?

When registering for kidney-related examinations, you can generally choose from the following departments:
1. **Nephrology**: Primarily responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases, such as renal insufficiency and glomerulonephritis. Nephrology also conducts routine tests such as urinalysis and renal function tests to assess kidney function.
2. **Urology**: Deals with diseases related to the urinary system, such as kidney stones, hydronephrosis, and kidney tumors. Urology often utilizes imaging examinations such as ultrasound and CT scans to clarify the condition.
3. **Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Department for Kidney Diseases**: Provides TCM treatment options for conditions such as simple kidney dysfunction or male sexual dysfunction.
The specific department choice should be based on individual medical conditions and the departmental structure of the hospital.
