[Team-Based Clinical Laboratory Testing in Nephrology and Urology--Chairmen's Introductory Remarks]

Recently, the Department of Clinical Examination has been extensively subdivided. When we perform examinations, we often require wide knowledge of other specialized fields. This symposium was planned to consider the procedure for examinations in the kidney urology field. Seven professionals gave lectures on the interpretation and adequacy of examinations involving the kidney urology field. Knowledge of not only specialized fields but also wide, basic, routine fields is required to perform more precise examinations. Therefore, we became aware that cooperation between examination departments is essential to improve our overall judgments.
