Nefrologia Interventistica: una disciplina in evoluzione. L’esperienza di due centri italiani a confronto

Abstract

We describe the multidisciplinary work of nephrological realities belonging to two different Regional Health Systems, Lombardia and Lazio. The interventional nephrologist is a specialist in nephrology with ultra-specialist know-how for vascular access for dialysis. He is the coordinator of a team of vascular accesses and applies a team work with the other interventional nephrologists, with the vascular surgeon and the interventional radiologist, with whom he decides the diagnostic-therapeutic procedure to perform the best possible vascular access for that individual patient.
