| [ Summary ] | In April 1995, the Japan kidney transplant network (JKTN) launched its activity as a new network system for kidney transplantation in Japan. In this system, the role of each department, such as coordinator, renal care unit and transplant unit,etc., is distinct from those of other units. Therefore, the staff of the renal care unit must play a greater part than before in the activities of JKTN by maintaining a connection with transplant surgeons. |
