Clinical Interests
My clinical interests include providing comprehensive care to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypertension, proteinuria, glomerular diseases, inherited kidney diseases, fluid and electrolyte disorders, and care for patients requiring chronic dialysis.
Research Interests
My research interests focus on anemia and renal bone disease, problems commonly seen among patients with CKD. My anemia research has focused on the proper use of epoetin and similar drugs, the role of iron in proper management, and defining the significant clinical risks and limited benefits of aggressive treatment of anemia in CKD. My research has also explored the value of treatments for renal metabolic bone disease, also known as CKD-MBD. Studies have included human trials of paricalcitol, cinacalcet, ergocalciferol, niacinamide, and various phosphate binders.
