7.6. Kidney Transplantation
1655-LekM4CNMTRA-J
The aim of the subject "Transplantology" is for students to acquire knowledge in the field of immunological selection of a donor and recipient of a kidney, the principles of collecting and transplanting a kidney from a deceased and living donor, principles of immunosuppressive treatment and its complications. The aim of the course is also to acquire by the students the skills of medical history and physical examination of patients after kidney transplantation and the ability to assess the patient after kidney transplantation in the perioperative period. The aim of the course is also to improve the ability to establish and maintain respectful contact with the patient and to convince the student of the need for continuous improvement.
