Our Operations

The Nephrology Section is part of the field of specialized medicine, dermatology, and rheumatology at Uppsala University Hospital. The section consists of a care ward, a nephrology clinic, and two dialysis clinics. We take care of patients with acute and chronic kidney disease both as inpatients in our care ward and in outpatient care at the nephrology clinic.

In the dialysis units, we treat nearly 100 patients with hemodialysis, and plasma exchange is also performed here. We also have about 35 patients on peritoneal dialysis. Investigating patients prior to kidney transplantation and following up on kidney transplant recipients is an important part of our operations. The management of kidney transplant recipients is done in close collaboration with the transplant surgeon. Furthermore, we also treat children with dialysis and collaborate with pediatric nephrology.

In addition to kidney care at the county and regional level, research and teaching medical students is an important mission for the section.
