  Research Interest

  Dr. Bhalla's research interests are in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease and salt-sensitive hypertension. The laboratory is interested in elucidating molecular pathways which regulate mesangial cell hypertrophy and extracellular matrix production in diabetic glomeruli. The laboratory also focuses on molecular mechanisms of insulin and aldosterone induced sodium transport in the distal nephron.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Clinical Focus

  • Nephrology
  • Nephrolithiasis
  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.

  My research relates to issues pertaining to clinical kidney transplantation. We have ongoing studies on the following topics. 1. Renal senescence and kidney transplant, and chronic allograft nephropathy. 2. Living donor safety and response to uninephrectomy. 3. Biomarkers for post-transplant monitoring.

  Dr. Yabu's research areas are in immune monitoring in kidney transplant patients and in the management of sensitized patients. She is interested in translational studies to determine the immunological mechanisms of kidney transplant rejection and alloantibody production and to identify novel biomarkers to monitor the immune system in kidney transplant patients.
