The Division of Nephrology and Hypertension is committed to the research, treatment and prevention of kidney diseases, including acute and chronic renal failure, complications of chronic dialysis treatment, hypertension, and kidney stones and cystic disease.
Led by Sharon Moe, MD, the Division of Nephrology and Hypertension is one of the largest such Divisions in the U.S. It holds a diverse group of 47 faculty, including clinicians, physician scientists, and PhD faculty. We provide clinical care at six major hospitals, see nearly 10,000 patients in clinics per year, and have over 600 dialysis patients at 17 different units, specializing in home therapies. Our kidney transplant program performs over 200 transplants per year, specializing in highly sensitized patients. The Division has more than $9 million in extramural research, with a diverse portfolio of NIH-funded laboratory and clinical research, Veterans Affairs funding, industry/foundation funded trials and investigator-initiated support. We have a strong fellowship program with five trainees per year, and support trainee research through NIH funded T32 grant. Faculty are active leaders in the American Society of Nephrology, National Kidney Foundation and Renal Physicians Association.
