Nephrology

Patients with hepatitis B and C are treated in separate areas, and effective monitoring are taken to prevent infection. Our highly professional nurses possess plentiful clinical dialysis experience and are expert in the use of needles. Patients' vascular conditions and state of dialysis are checked regularly, allowing us to give them appropriate assistance and health education. The hospital has been designated a hemodialysis nurse training hospital by the Taiwan Society of Nephrology, not only provides all-round kidney disease treatment but also offers consulting services. The hospital has been preparing for the establishment of a Peritoneal Dialysis Room providing another treatment option in addition to hemodialysis. When the time comes, uremic patients will be able to select the dialysis method best suited to their individual conditions.
