Oiwa Kidney Clinic
About
Oiwa Kidney Clinic, located in Tsukiji, Chuo Ward, Tokyo, opened in April 2006 with nephrology and hemodialysis as its two pillars. The clinic director brings over 30 years of experience as a nephrology specialist at St. Luke's International Hospital, contributing extensive clinical expertise to community healthcare. As a "St. Luke's Partners Clinic," the facility is connected to St. Luke's International Hospital via computer network, enabling direct booking of advanced examinations such as CT and MRI through electronic medical records—providing hospital-level medical capabilities while maintaining a community clinic setting. For dialysis treatment, the clinic offers three types: hemodialysis, hemodiafiltration, and peritoneal dialysis. Flexible scheduling accommodates patient lifestyles, with morning and evening shifts on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The comprehensive system spanning conservative care for preventing kidney function decline to renal replacement therapy provides reassuring support for patients with kidney disease. The clinic's treatment philosophy combines EBM (Evidence-Based Medicine) with NBM (Narrative-Based Medicine), emphasizing careful attention to each patient's story. The barrier-free facility enjoys convenient access, just a 3-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Tsukiji Station.
