Prof. Zhang Jinhui

Under the guidance of Professor Shou Zhangfei and Deputy Director Zou Qingling, Shulan Hospital’s Nephrology Department operates as an integrated clinical, academic, and research center specializing in comprehensive kidney disease management. The department’s scope encompasses primary glomerular diseases (including acute, rapidly progressive, and chronic glomerulonephritis; nephrotic syndrome; IgA nephropathy; latent nephritis), systemic illness-related nephropathies (diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephropathy, urate nephropathy), secondary nephropathies (drug-induced nephrotoxicity, infection-related glomerulopathy, paraneoplastic renal injury), tubulointerstitial disorders (acute/chronic interstitial nephritis), kidney failure syndromes (acute kidney injury/AKI, chronic kidney disease/CKD), and transplantation medicine (kidney allograft procedures with rejection management).

Research priorities focus on four key domains: (1) pathogenesis and novel therapeutics for primary glomerular diseases; (2) mechanistic pathways in systemic/metabolic nephropathies; (3) progression markers in tubulointerstitial diseases with AKI biomarker development and CKD optimization; and (4) allograft tolerance induction strategies.

Prof. Zhang Jinhui is a Chief Physician, Professor and Master’s Supervisor at Southern Medical University Shenzhen Hospital. He is an experienced specialist in general surgery, with a strong focus on hepatobiliary surgery, pancreatic surgery, spleen surgery, hernia surgery, thyroid surgery, liver transplantation and minimally invasive surgical treatment.

With nearly 30 years of clinical experience, Prof. Zhang has developed extensive expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of complex liver, biliary and pancreatic diseases. He is also experienced in managing difficult surgical cases and providing advanced surgical care for patients with complicated abdominal and endocrine surgical conditions.

Dean of Shulan (Hangzhou) Hospital and Director of its Nephrology Department, stands as a nationally recognized leader in kidney transplantation and renal replacement therapy. A doctoral graduate of Japan’s Fukui University and distinguished professor with over 30 years’ experience at Zhejiang University’s First Affiliated Hospital, he has personally performed 2,500+ kidney transplants – pioneering China’s largest series of highly sensitized transplants (117 cases) and establishing benchmark protocols for ABO-incompatible living-donor transplantation. His innovative desensitization strategies – integrating high-resolution HLA genotyping, flow cytometry crossmatching (Flow-CDC), and rituximab/IVIG regimens – have redefined management of immunologically high-risk recipients. Under his leadership, the department achieves 100% early graft function recovery in 166 living-donor transplants through minimally invasive laparoscopic nephrectomy, with both donors and recipients maintaining excellent long-term outcomes.

Prof. Zhang Jinhui is a Doctor of Medicine, Postdoctoral Researcher, Chief Physician, Professor and Master’s Supervisor at Southern Medical University Shenzhen Hospital.

He has been engaged in clinical work, teaching and research in general surgery for nearly 30 years. His major areas of expertise include hepatobiliary surgery, pancreatic surgery, spleen surgery, hernia surgery, thyroid surgery, liver transplantation and minimally invasive surgery.

As an experienced surgical specialist, Prof. Zhang has rich experience in the diagnosis and treatment of complex and difficult surgical diseases, especially in liver, biliary and pancreatic conditions. He is also recognized for his contributions to clinical practice, medical education and surgical research.
