The Department of Nephrology, Hemodialysis and Toxicology at Medical University “Prof. Dr. Paraskev Stoyanov" – Varna develops its activities as part of the university structures in Internal Medicine and is closely associated with the development of nephrology care and dialysis treatment in Northeastern Bulgaria.
The beginning of the academic development of nephrology in Varna was marked by the establishment of a clinical and teaching base within the university hospital. A significant contribution to the development of the department has been made by the Clinic of Nephrology and Dialysis at St. Marina University Hospital, which has established itself as a leading center for highly specialized nephrological care.
Over the years, the department has expanded its educational and scientific activities by introducing modern teaching methods and actively participating in the development of renal replacement therapy, transplantation medicine, and the diagnosis of chronic kidney diseases. The main scientific areas include immunological disorders in dialysis patients, kidney transplantation, vascular access for hemodialysis, ultrasonographic diagnostics, and genetic kidney diseases.
Today, the Department of Nephrology, Hemodialysis and Toxicology is a well-established academic and clinical center combining the education of medical students and residents, scientific research, and highly specialized medical care in the field of nephrology and dialysis treatment.
