Research Programs

Because of our reputation, the Section of Nephrology has been asked to participate in major national clinical trials.  We were one of 11 institutions to participate in a study looking at the feasibility of using a bioartificial kidney made from human proximal tubule cells in the treatment of acute renal failure.  We are also participating in a combined VA/NIH study comparing daily dialysis to conventional three times a week dialysis in the critically ill.
