Summary	Nephrologists are expected to play multiple roles in the field of kidney transplantations. They first need to advise transplant recipients that a transplantation is one of the renal replacement therapies. They will then evaluate and adjust the condition of recipients from the preoperative to the perioperative periods and explain how to care for lifetime chronic kidney disease management. Furthermore, nephrologists are also required to evaluate the psychological conditions, of donors and to perform treatment intervention for keeping eGFR after a nephrectomy. These multidisciplinary responsibilities are all considered very important.
