The group is headed by Elena N. Denisova, Candidate of Medical Sciences, nephrologist
The Dialysis Group with Day Hospital is part of the Division of Resuscitation and Intensive Care.
In 1960, the first kidney center was organized in Moscow at the Central Institute of Blood Transfusion with the participation of Viktor A. Agranenko. Nina N. Skachilova became the first head of the Department of Post-transfusion Complications and Hemodialysis. In the same year, for the first time, hemodialysis was performed using an artificial kidney apparatus of the Research and Testing Institute of Experimental Surgical Equipment and Instruments on a patient with a post-transfusion complication (Rh-incompatible hemotransfusion). Acute renal failure was resolved successfully. Later, many patients with acute renal failure due to post-transfusion conflicts were treated at the department, and many scientific papers were published on this topic.
In the 1970s-80s, hemodialysis functioned as part of the Intensive Care Unit. With the advent of new "artificial kidney" devices, the volume of work carried out and the number of treated patients began to increase.
In the 1990s, the department continued its work under the leadership of Lyudmila S. Biryukova. During this period, methods of renal replacement therapy were widely introduced in hematological patients in intensive care including a chronic dialysis service and cadaveric kidney transplantation. The Intensive Care Unit saw many cases of acute renal injury in women in labor from various medical institutions of the city and of the country as well as patients with post-transfusion complications. Simultaneously, scientific work was underway to create recommendations for the treatment of patients with renal damage of a hematological profile.
Since 2019, the Dialysis Group with Day Hospital has been part of the Division of Resuscitation and Intensive Care headed by Gennady M. Galstyan. Renal replacement therapy is carried out for patients with various diseases of the blood system on modern equipment using the latest achievements in the field of modern hemodialysis.
The group includes 6 nephrologists.
