In addition to our multidisciplinary patient care clinics, WashU Nephrology provides specialized renal centers for patients dealing with glomerular diseases and autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD), a genetic form of renal fibrosis.
We invite you to explore these two invaluable patient resources.
Glomerular Center of Excellence
Tingting Li, MD, MSCI, Director
Glomerular diseases are a well-recognized cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. The diseases are rare and require highly specialized care.
We have a team of nephrologists with extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of glomerular diseases as well as in the management of therapy-related complications.
Center for ADTKD
Ying Maggie Chen, MD, PhD, Director
ADTKD (Autosomal Dominant Tubulointerstitial Kidney Disease) is a genetic form of renal fibrosis, leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD). It represents as many as 25% of patients with inherited kidney disease, after exclusion of polycystic kidney disease and Alport syndrome.
Due to lack of a distinctive clinical feature and absence of diagnostic tests other than genetic testing, the prevalence of ADTKD is significantly underestimated.
