  Research Interest

  Dr. Bhalla's research interests are in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease and salt-sensitive hypertension. Using molecular and transgenic approaches, the laboratory is interested in elucidating regulators of oxidative and carbonyl stress in glomeruli. We interface these studies with collaborative projects on biomarkers for human diabetic nephropathy. The laboratory also focuses on molecular mechanisms of insulin and aldosterone-induced sodium transport in the distal nephron.

  • Nephrology
  Research Interest

  Patients with advanced chronic kidney disease and end stage kidney disease have high rates of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. The purpose of the Homocysteine Study was to determine if lowering their high plasma homocysteine levels would reduce their mortality. Secondary endpoints included reductions in myocardial infarction, stroke, and amputation of a lower extremity. The results showed there was no improvement in survival or reduction in the cardiovascular events.

  Research Interest

  Initiating a glomerulonephritis cohort study, including immunologic characterization. Interventional studies of preeclampsia exploring the nitric oxide, endothelin system and effects on glomerular function and morphometry. Outcome studies in dialysis and acute renal failure patients. Interventional and observational studies of glomerular disease, particularly IgA nephropathy.

  Meyer, Timothy 
  Academic Appointments Professor,  Medicine - Nephrology
  
  Research Interest

  Inadequate removal of uremic solutes contributes to widespread illness in the more than 350,000 Americans maintained on hemodialysis. But we know remarkably little about these solutes. Dr. Meyer's research efforts are focused on identifying which uremic solutes are toxic, how these solutes are made, and how their production could be decreased or their removal could be increased. We should be able to improve treatment if we knew more about what we are trying to remove.

  Research Interest

  A novel approach is used to evaluate glomerular disease in humans, and its progression. A combination of physiologic techniques, a morphometric analysis of glomeruli obtained by biopsy, and mathematical modeling of glomerular ultrafiltration is used to quantify the extent of glomerular injury in humans for the first time.

  Research Interest

  We are interested in the hormonal and signal transduction pathways that control epithelial ion transport. Our model system involves tight epithelia, typically found in the distal nephron of the kidney. Clinical implications of our work include a better understanding of the pathogenesis of salt-sensitive hypertension and hypertension associated with the insulin resistance syndrome.

  Dr Rabkin is examining the mechanism of the acquired resistance to hormones that develops in kidney failure.In particular he is studying the impact of kidney failure on the action of growth hormone and the role of impaired signal transduction as a cause of growth hormone resistance. He is also engaged in the study of growth factors in diabetic kidney disease.

  Research Interest

  I am a clinical and health services investigator whose primary interest is in improving the quality of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) care among older adults. Our previous and current work aims to describe outcomes (especially geriatric outcomes) in older patients and to compare the effectiveness of different ESRD management strategies on these outcomes. We use a variety of study designs and populations to address questions of interest in this area.

  • Nephrology
  Research Interest

  I study the comparative effectiveness and safety of competing clinical strategies in patients with kidney disease, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease. Such strategies may include medications, devices, clinical tests, policies, or other approaches to providing or organizing clinical care. My research is based on large insurance databases, disease registries, clinical databases or electronic medical records. My explicit career goal is to improve care and outcomes of patients with these diseases.

  • Nephrology
  • Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation
  • Desensitization and ABO incompatible kidney transplantation
  Research Interest

  My research interests are in immune monitoring in kidney transplant patients and in the management of sensitized patients. I am interested in translational studies to determine the immunological mechanisms underlying kidney transplant rejection and alloantibody production and to identify novel biomarkers to monitor the immune system in kidney transplant patients. I am also interested in designing novel protocols for desensitization and ABO incompatible kidney transplantation.
