Comprehensive Renal Failure Therapeutics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab covers everything from choosing treatment for kidney failure to research on peritoneal dialysis.
AboutAbout the lab
From treatment selection for kidney failure to peritoneal dialysis research.
The lab works on treatment selection for patients with kidney failure, peritoneal dialysis care, and clinical and basic research on it.
It provides treatment counseling so that patients can choose an appropriate kidney replacement therapy from among hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation.
It also works to provide high-quality peritoneal dialysis care through multidisciplinary team care.
It holds seminars related to kidney failure care and also trains medical staff.
Key terms
- Kidney replacement therapy
- Treatment that substitutes for kidney function in patients with kidney failure. There are three types: hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation
- Autophagy
- A mechanism by which cells break down their own components. It has been widely conserved through evolution
- Arginine metabolism
- Reactions in which the amino acid arginine is converted into other substances in the body. Spermidine is one of its metabolites
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to advance peritoneal dialysis care and conducts both clinical and basic research. Associate Professor Kumiko Torisu researches autophagy and arginine metabolism in relation to kidney disease.
