The
Nephrology Division at the Far-Eastern Memorial Hospital (FEMH) was
established in April, 1981 and now it is the largest one for medical
service in Taipei County, Taiwan. This division is composed with a
group of physicians and well-trained nurses who are dedicated to the
treatment and the care of patients with kidney disease. Our
faculty is at the forefront of research and patient care in the field
of Nephrology. We focus on both the basic and clinical researches such
as quality of life, sleep disorder, chronic inflammation, risk factors
of cardiovascular disease, oxidative stress in hemodialysis patients;
kidney transplantation, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and peritoneal
dialysis.
The
advancement of medical science depends upon a good education. Our
two-year fellowship program is designed to optimize the experience of
the fellows both in the techniques and the practices in all fields of
nephrology and in basic or clinical researches. We also offer the
comprehesive training programs for hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis
nurses.
We always pursue
the excellence in patient care through the team work and the
development of new strategies in the treatment of renal disease. Our
services include studies in the causes of hematuria, proteinuria,
inflammatory kidney diseases, immune associated kidney disease and
progression of renal disease. We also provide comprehensive evaluation
of patients with hypertension, thorough services of hemodialysis and
peritoneal dialysis, management of drug overdose, emergent therapy of
hemoperfusion and plasma exchange, and operate a renal transplant
program. We are the first team to perform renal transplant in Taipei
County, Taiwan, and have successfully helped many patients to enjoy a
new life without dialysis therapy. |
