Research Focus

My research focuses on involving progression of chronic kidney disease, the anemia of chronic kidney disease, the complications of mineral metabolism in chronic kidney disease, factors leading to anemia in chronic kidney disease and measures to correct anemia, iron deficiencies and other causes of anemia. In addition, we participate in research on polycystic kidney disease including parameters of progression as well as the use of Tolvalptan to block the effect of vasopressin in the cysts of PKD. With respect to anemia of CKD, we have been involved in the use of several products to stimulate the production of an increase in hemoglobin.
