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 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.
