Why patients consider China for nephrology & urology
Nephrology and urology cover kidney disease, kidney and urinary stones, prostate conditions and urological tumors. Kidney stone treatment is one of the more common elective requests, because modern stone procedures are often minimally invasive with short stays.
Urology and nephrology departments at Grade 3A hospitals in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing and Chengdu treat high volumes of stone disease and urological cancer.
Horcare does not coordinate kidney transplantation.
