Introduction of the department

Establishment: The Department of Nephrology was established in December 2015 as a key and specialized department of the hospital. It currently has nearly 100 medical staff, including 5 chief physicians and 16 attending physicians, with more than 100 inpatient beds.

Core Focus: The department specializes in comprehensive, integrated management of kidney diseases, covering all stages from early kidney disease to uremia. It is particularly experienced in the field of kidney transplantation, routinely performing cadaveric donations, living donor transplants, and high-sensitization kidney transplants. The department provides a full-service healthcare model encompassing "prevention-diagnosis-treatment-rehabilitation" for patients.
