In addition to acute diseases of medicine and child health care, “growth and medical care” include transition to the chronic phase, long-term medical treatment of patients with intractable diseases, medicine encompassing healthy growth of children. As a philosophy of “growth and medical care”, we establish a developmental and medical system closely related to regional medical care in the suburbs of the metropolitan area, and to foster human resources of pediatricians responsible for next-generation medical care.

We conduct survey research and education based on the organic collaboration between Tokyo Medical and Dental University and Kashiwa City Kashiwa Hospital.

The current main projects are the following.
1.Establishment of pediatric medical system in Kashiwa city.
2.Study of primary immunodeficiency (PID) predisposing to Epstein-Barr virus infection
3.Study of primary antibody deficiency
4.Etiologic and pathophysiological analysis of cytokine storm syndrome, especially of macrophage activation syndrome.
5.Etiologic and pathophysiological analysis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), the most common type of pediatric rheumatic diseases.
6.Registry study on pediatric kidney disease in Kashiwa city.

We conduct a broader range of more specialized clinical education for acquiring pediatric specialists at the University Hospital.

We mainly train young pediatric researchers and specialists. We make them to be familiar with chronic diseases and intractable diseases of childhood and to be responsible for next generation medical care.

We treat children with PID, hematological malignancies, hematological disorders, and malignant solid tumors in the University Hospital.

At Kashiwa City Kashiwa Hospital, we provide pediatric medicine mainly for acute diseases, cooperating with medical facilities in the suburbs, and establish a reliable medical system for children in the local residents.

We provide diagnosis, treatment of pathological analysis of primary immunodeficiency (PID) and hematological malignancies, and perform hematopoietic cell transplantation for refractory diseases. Especially, we treat the largest number of patients with PID in Japan.
Our university hospital is one of the largest core centers for pediatric rheumatic diseases in Japan. Pediatric rheumatologists, adult rheumatologists, pediatric orthopedic surgeons and pediatric ophthalmologists cooperatively provide seamless medical cares for pediatric rheumatic diseases from children to adults.
