Nephrology has no wage code of its own. These are the figures for general internal medicine physicians, the group nephrologists are counted inside: a median of $256,560 a year, a bottom tenth at $73,570 or less and a top tenth at $475,430 or more. The survey covers physicians who are employees, so doctors in their own practices or in partnerships are not counted at all.
