肾脏科

三星医疗中心的肾脏科以尊重病人和生命的价值为基础寻求肾脏疾病的综合治疗。肾脏疾病包括肾脏和泌尿系统的各种炎症、感染性和代谢性疾病。如果它们在早期阶段没有得到适当的处理，它们可能会导致终末期肾脏疾病，需要透析或肾移植，这会导致个人的痛苦和社会的损失。肾脏科基于专业知识、经验和良好的实践体系，通过有效的诊断和早期治疗提供以病人为中心的医疗保健以提高患者的幸福感。此外，我们正在努力进行创新及卓越治疗方法的开发研究，并提供培训肾脏病领域的专家的教育。

临床的主要领域

  • 尿异常、急性肾损伤、慢性肾脏病及电解质平衡失调的诊断和治疗
  • 可导致慢性肾脏疾病的疾病诊断与治疗，如糖尿病肾病、高血压肾病、多囊肾、肾小球疾病、系统性红斑狼疮、肾小管疾病、肾血管性疾病、感染、尿路感染及慢性肾脏病的系统性并发症
  • 肾移植中心：活体供者及死者供体肾移植、供者交流计划和肾脏捐赠者的诊所
  • 血液透析和腹膜透析诊所

优势

三星医学中心的肾脏科基于其在治疗有各种情况的这些患者的广泛经验积极追求危重病人的肾并发症的早期诊断和充分治疗。我们还为晚期肾病患者提供系统的教育计划以及时帮助他们选择个性化的最佳肾脏替代治疗方法。在最近翻新的血液透析科，我们为每一个病人提供最佳的血液透析治疗和全面的管理。在腹膜透析科，为住院和门诊病人提供细致的医疗服务，包括电话咨询和家庭随访。我们还经营一个世界级的肾脏移植中心，使用综合医疗系统，该系统由来自肾脏内科、移植外科、病理及实验室科的专家团队组成。还有一个肾脏捐赠者术前、术后健康管理的的供肾诊所。

诊断检测

肾内科与实验室医学科、病理科和放射科合作向患者提供最先进的诊断测试。

最新的治疗

我们已经在肾移植中心使用最新的免疫抑制方案为免疫高危患者实施了成功的肾移植，如血型不相容患者。特别是，免疫高危患者经过精心筛选，及使用最合适的移植方法，包括脱敏，而且实施肾脏配对捐赠计划（通过捐赠交换进行供、受者之间的多对肾移植）。免疫耐受性（在不需免疫抑制的情况下维持移植肾功能）也通过肾和骨髓同时移植正在研究中。在透析科，我们正在尝试合并每周三次到医院进行血液透析有困难的患者的透析和腹膜透析和血液透析，因腹膜透析本身是不够的。对于肾功能不全的危重病人，在加护病房积极实施连续性肾脏替代治疗。也有一间通过对流体和预防剂（N-乙酰半胱氨酸）进行管理防止对比剂肾病接受增强CT扫描或治疗的日间病房。

临床研究的最新趋势

我们正在对由肾小球肾炎与糖尿病肾病引起的肾损伤机制进行研究，它是慢性肾脏病的主要原因，而且我们预计这项研究数据的积累将有助于找到一种新的治疗方法。为了血液透析患者、腹膜透析的联合治疗及危重症患者的连续性肾脏替代治疗，我们正在积极对新的动静脉移植的发展进行临床研究。我们也正在与移植外科密切合作以使用肾移植患者的血液或尿液进行非侵入性诊断方法的临床研究。
