Title

An overview of renal epidemiology: from etiological diagnosis to therapeutic management

About the speaker 

I am a nephrologist and a post-doctoral researcher in renal epidemiology in Juan-Jesus Carrero’s team, at MEB-KI. My research focuses on chronic kidney diseases, their etiologies, risk factors, and complications, as well as clinical and therapeutic management. 

Abstract 

I will present an overview of renal epidemiology, and the key challenges we have to face as clinician and researcher in the field of chronic kidney disease. I will then discuss some examples of previous works we have done, particularly on sodium/water homeostasis and diuretic therapy, and on the impact of chronic kidney disease etiology on adverse clinical outcomes. Finally, I will briefly present the Swedish kidney biopsy cohort that we are creating.

Join the faculty event in Wargentin! After the seminar, the faculty lunch will be served in Ljusgården.
