If not then what does house md study?
Star Lake
He's an infectious disease specialist and a "diagnostician". The writers of "House" made up the specialty of "diagnostician" specifically for this show; in the real medical world, there is no such thing as a diagnostician. For the show's purposes, "diagnostician" means someone who specializes in diagnosing difficult or complicated illnesses or "medical mysteries" that span ALL of the medical specialties, and would (or already did) completely baffle other doctors. A nephrologist is a kidney specialist, and is not one of House's specialties, but he does have a neurologist on his team (Dr. Foreman); perhaps that was what you were thinking of?

Actually, Doctor Hous has a doubl specialty in Infectious diseases, AND Nephrology. Report Abuse

Agreed. He announces in one of the Season 1 episodes (when he's trying to get out of clinic duty) that he is a board certified diagnositican with dual specialties in nephrology and infectious diseases. Report Abuse
