Our department treats primarily patients with renal or rheumatic disease as well as metabolic and hormone disorders. We are experts in the treatment of kidney-damaging diseases like hypertension or diabetes as well as treatment of patients with inflammatory kidney disease. Our department has a high performance dialysis unit. We provide pre- and postoperative care for patients with conventional kidney transplants and jointly with the Hepatobiliary and Transplant Surgery Department also for patients with combined kidney-pancreas or kidney-liver transplants.
Experienced senior physicians offer several special clinics:
Our primary goal is a better understanding of the development, course and regulation of inflammatory responses of the kidney. Furthermore, our department collaborates with other transplantation centers in several studies designed to help improve immunosuppressive drug therapy following kidney transplants.
Our department has special experience - with the number of cases growing - in the evaluation of pre- and postoperative care of kidney transplants with living donors.
