Experience of 3 Cases of Living Renal Transplantation in Juntendo University Urayasu Hospital

Abstract

We experienced 3 cases of living renal transplantation in our department since its initiation in April 2015. All three patients made favorable recoveries. Generally, the introduction of renal transplantation requires a specified period of preparation time, not only to meet institutional criteria but also to cooperate with other departments or other related units (e.g., clinical laboratory or pharmacy) and to educate other healthcare professionals. We received support from a variety of departments and units in the hospital, and we were able to prepare for the introduction of living renal transplantation in the short time of only 4 months.
