[ Summary ] Patients with renal diseases are anxious not only about their own diseases but also their daily life and their social environment.
Since these problems can not be solved by doctors only in outpatient clinics, we started the lecture known as "Lecture on renal diseases for the patients" in order to clarify their problems. In this series, medical staff members including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, and clinical laboratory technologists give lectures on each technical field for patients and give information to patients from various points of view. It seems that lectures are a great help for patients with renal disease. We hope to further improve our lectures in relation to the idea of "total care of patients with renal diseases and their families".
