Urology・Kidney Transplant Department

The Urology and Kidney Transplant Surgery Department always has two doctors for practice. The Urology is in charge of treating diseases related to the urinary tract and male diseases related to the male reproductive organs. In outpatient, we mainly conduct pharmacotherapy for difficulty urinating due to benign prostatic hyperplasia and frequent urination due to overactive bladder, detailed examination for hematuria detected in general test, detailed examination for an elevated prostate tumor marker, and urinary tract infections such as urinary stone or cystitis. For urinary system malignancies of the kidney, urinary tract, bladder, and prostate, we actively conduct minimally-invasive treatment such as laparoscopic surgery in cooperation with Tokyo Women’s Medical University. As a Kidney Center, we actively promote care of renal diseases in cooperation with Nephrology. We started living donor kidney transplantation in fiscal 2009 and conduct approximately 10 transplantations per year. We conduct surgeries in cooperation with the kidney transplantation team of Urology at Tokyo Women’s Medical University and provide blood purification therapy before transplantation and medical management after transplantation in cooperation with our Nephrology Department to materialize high-quality medical transplantation.
