Nephrology Patient Care

Despite major advances in medicine, kidney disease continues to increase and has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. Faculty in the division practice and teach optimal care for patients with a broad spectrum of kidney diseases at all stages. In addition, faculty members are actively involved in high-quality basic science, outcomes, and clinical research aimed at better treatment options as well as prevention of kidney-related health issues.

We have established several specialized clinics to treat patients and state-of-the-art outpatient and inpatient dialysis programs. We work hand-in-hand with the U-M Transplant Center in cases where a patient has end-stage kidney failure, with the goal of avoiding or eliminating the need for dialysis.
