DR. NURIA GARCÍA FERNÁNDEZ DIRECTOR. NEPHROLOGY DEPARTMENT
The Department of Nephrology at the Clínica Universidad de Navarra has over 50 years of experience in the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases, including complex and hard-to-manage conditions. Our team of specialists, trained at leading national and international centers, works in a multidisciplinary way to provide personalized, excellent care.
We are a referral center in Navarre for kidney transplantation, including living-donor transplants. Our Hemodialysis Unit ensures close, specialized care, with a coordinated team of nurses, nursing assistants, and nephrologists dedicated to each patient. We also offer guidance on nutrition, physical activity, and post-transplant care, with the goal of improving our patients’ quality of life.
The department actively participates in ongoing clinical trials across multiple kidney conditions, contributing to the development of new therapies and the improvement of current treatments. We also have extensive experience training undergraduate students, medical residents (MIR), and offering observerships and research fellowships.

Josu
Kidney Transplant
"When something like this happens, things change. You are still the same, but you don't live things in the same way anymore, you don't think so much about the future but rather about enjoying every moment".
Félix y Jesús Mari
Kidney transplant, thanks to his brother's donation
"When a brother donates an organ to you, you can only be infinitely grateful. If I am here it is thanks to your generosity, you did not hesitate for a moment to give me your kidney".
Rosa

"So that the disease doesn't overtake you, it is important that you don't let yourself be defined by that disease, not labeled".
