Pioneers in Kidney Transplant
Kidney transplantation is the best therapeutic option for patients with chronic renal failure. Access to transplantation may be limited by immunological barriers, clinical conditions or technical complexity. Transplanting the difficult patient is always challenging, and success can only be achieved by combining experience and innovation. Barcelona’s Hospital Clinic has performed the first kidney transplant in Spain in 1965, and has been pioneering and innovating in kidney transplantation ever since.
