Our gastroenterology and nephrology divisions perform clinical treatment, education, and research to create generations of skilled clinicians. During training, students and residents learn to act as valuable members of the medical team. In clinical practice, we make the medical environment bright and provide a sense of accomplishment.
The division of gastroenterology is divided into the liver, stomach and intestine, and biliary tract and pancreas teams. Each team provides specialized medical treatment to people in need.The division of nephrology concentrates on not only kidney transplantation, but also the treatment of nephritis and blood purification therapy. Together, we perform research in key fields that are decided by each study group. We strive to share our ideas, skills, and research findings to the world.
Divisions:
1. Gastroenterology: Liver
2. Gastroenterology: Stomach and intestine
3. Gastroenterology: Biliary tract and pancreas
4. Nephrology
