Therefore, patients with rare kidney diseases are frequently seen in our department, for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes either as outpatients or hospitalized. The department is a tertiary health care provider, comprising all areas of clinical and academic Nephrology, including a beds Nephrology ward, a dialysis unit working seven days a week, a transplant unit, an outpatient area, a clinical study unit and an intensive care unit for potentially 10 ventilated patients. We have active cooperations with several areas in the University Hospital, which are crucial in caring for patients with rare kidney diseases: Urology for adults and children, Renal Paediatrics, Renal Pathology, Human Genetics and Radiology.
A large number of experienced consultants from our department are interested in rare kidney diseases and offer specialized clinics for the full spectrum of diseases: Glomerulopathies, Tubulopathies, TMAs, Autosomal dominant structural disorders and Renal malformations. Many of these disease entities are covered clinically, as well as investigated academically. If available, we are keen to participate in clinical registries and pharmaceutical studies for rare kidney diseases, for which we are fully equipped.
