Department of Nephrology
Specialized in: nephrology About the Department of Nephrology at Hannover Medical School (MHH)
The Department of Nephrology at the Hannover Medical School provides the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services to patients with acute and chronic kidney diseases. A special feature of the department is its rich experience in modern types of dialysis (renal replacement therapy). The department also provides the treatment of all forms of arterial hypertension and rare diseases caused by hypertension. The department provides medical care for those patients who will undergo kidney transplantation and for patients after kidney transplantation. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Hermann Haller.
Each patient receives the most effective treatment according to current clinical protocols, as well as individual needs and wishes of the patient. The medical facility has an excellent reputation in Germany and regularly demonstrates high treatment success rates, thanks to which it has gained a high degree of patient confidence.
The department provides inpatient and outpatient medical care. Both diagnostics and treatment are carried out in various specialized sections. Station 28A, 28B and 32A offer the widest range of medical services for the diagnostics and treatment of nephrologic pathologies and arterial hypertension. Station 85 is dedicated to caring for patients after kidney transplantation. Station 14 provides intensive care for patients with particularly severe diseases, while Station 10 provides medical care for patients with acute kidney failure (renal replacement therapy).
In addition, the department has a large outpatient clinic where patients with acute and chronic kidney diseases undergo treatment. The outpatient clinic also admits patients with a high risk of developing acute or chronic kidney disease, for example, patients with arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus or metabolic disorders. Great attention is paid to the follow-up monitoring of patients after kidney transplant.
As part of the university hospital, the department attaches great importance to research activities. It carries out many researches on inflammatory kidney diseases, chronic kidney disease in arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus, acute kidney failure, dialysis and transplantation. Research groups analyze the molecular mechanisms of disease development in animal models and cell cultures. An important part of research is the so-called "translational aspect", namely, when analyzing the cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease development, the search for optimal diagnostic and therapeutic measures plays a major role.
The department's therapeutic options include:
- Drug therapy
- Infusion therapy
- Renal replacement therapy (dialysis)
- Peritoneal dialysis
- Hemodialysis
- Hemofiltration
- Hemodiafiltration
- Continuous renal replacement therapy
- Genius hemodialysis system
- Continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH)
- Continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD)
- Blood purification procedures
- Plasmapheresis
- Immunoadsorption
- Intensive therapy for acute conditions caused by neurologic disorders, arterial hypertension
- Other treatment methods
