Renal failure (although I'm pretty sure kidney failure would suffice). To be honest, as a medical term Kidney Failure is "medical" enough. If you want to be a bit more medical then you would want to say Renal Failure. And then depending on whether it's acute or chronic then you would want to say Acute Renal Failure or Chronic Renal Failure. End stage renal disease (ESRD) is another term. And just in case you're interested, it used to called Renal Insufficiency but that term is not really used anymore.
The branch of medicine that is concerned with kidney disease treatment and diagnosis is called nephrology and specialists who treat kidney diseases are called nephrologists. Besides nephrologists, kidney problems may also be treated and managed by urologists, pediatricians, and primary care physicians. There are several kidney problems such as kidney failure, kidney stones, and kidney cancer that may require intervention by a qualified nephrologist. Your treatment will depend on the type of kidney disease you're suffering from.A nephrologist is a physician specializing in the diagnosis and management of kidney disease.
Dialysis is only necessary in cases of kidney failure. In most cases, heart patients do not also have kidney failure, and if they do, they are in serious trouble. Therefore, no, in most cases dialysis is not necessary after heart surgery.
