The '''Nephrology task force''' of WikiProject Medicine aims to better organize information in articles related to [[Nephrology]]. Nephrology is the branch of [[medicine]] dealing with diseases of the [[kidney]]. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] and see the [[Wikipedia:to-do list|to-do list]] there.

==Scope==

[[Nephrology]] is the branch of medicine that deals with diseases of the [[kidney]].

This WikiProjecttask force aims to:

*increase the quality of the current articles on nephrology topics by increasing their medical content while keeping them accessible to individuals with no specialty medical knowledge

*facilitate the creation of new articles on topics in nephrology, so that Wikipedia is a more-or-less comprehensive nephrology resource for the public

*ensure that articles created on nephrology topics are thoroughly referenced and include up-to-date links to the most recent literature

*explain the use of [[evidence-based medicine]] in nephrology and how it is applied to the care of patients with renal disease

*maintain consistency perwith the [[WP:MOSMEDMOS|medical manual of style]] onin the nephrology articles

*increase the number of images attached to articles

*produce nephrology-themed [[WP:FA|featured articles]] based on the above

*include both traditional and complementary and alternative medicine therapies for illnesses nephrologists typically see and treat

*improve the kidney bluebox <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:kidney|<nowiki>Kidney</nowiki>]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki> and create a nephrology template that lists the most common renal diseases.

===Parentage===

This WikiProject is descended from [[WP:CLINMED|WikiProject Clinical Medicine]].

<!-- Don't let your project be an ORPHAN !!!

father of this WikiProject is [[Wikipedia:WikiProject A|WikiProject A]]

mother of this WikiProject is [[Wikipedia:WikiProject A|WikiProject A]]

Be creative here. Think about the processes that inspired you to start this project.

Use this tool to classify your project taxonomically and contextually.

Think of Wikipedia as a Big Happy Family. -->

=== Project notice ===

[[Category:WikiProjects|Nephrology]]

The template for marking an article as part of the ''Nephrology task force'' is part of the WikiProject Medicine banner, {{tl|WPMED}}. It can be inserted into an article's talkpage with:

[[Category:WikiProject_Medicine]]

:<nowiki>{{WPMED |class= |importance= |nephrology=yes |nephrology-imp= }}</nowiki>

The first "importance" parameter is the subject's importance to the overall field of medicine, according to the guidelines [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Assessment#Importance_scale|here]]. The importance of a subject to the field of nephrology should be listed with the "nephrology-imp" parameter.

== Userbox ==

The nephrology userbox template is available to post on your [[WP:USERPAGE|userpage]] by inserting the following:

:''<nowiki>{{User WikiProject Nephrology}}</nowiki>''

Its appearance:

{{User WikiProject Nephrology}}

<br>

<br>

A direct link to the template is [[Template:User WikiProject Nephrology |here]].
