        About the Department of Nephrology, Rheumatology, Endocrinology and Kidney Transplantation at University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf

        The Department of Nephrology, Rheumatology, Endocrinology and Kidney Transplantation at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf offers the full range of medical services in these fields. The department's doctors are recognized experts in the diagnostics and treatment of kidney diseases, hypertension, rheumatic diseases, endocrine disorders, diabetes mellitus, morbid obesity and lipid spectrum disorders. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Tobias B. Huber.

        With more than 80 kidney transplantations yearly, the department has an excellent reputation in this field at the national and international levels. It also performs combined kidney and pancreas transplantation. In addition, the service range covers the preparation for transplantation and follow-up care for patients.

        The department offers all types of renal replacement therapy, including hemodialysis, hemofiltration, hemodiafiltration, peritoneal dialysis. The therapeutic options also include lipid apheresis, plasma separation and immunoadsorption. The department conducts about 8,000 renal replacement therapy procedures annually.
