Research Interests:  

My research interests include the disposition of medications in acute renal failure and chronic and end-stage kidney disease including the optimization of pharmacotherapeutic regimens in patients receiving dialysis.   My research interests also include the impact of pharmacogenomics on drug metabolism in patients with chronic and end-stage kidney disease.

 

Clinical Interests:

  • General Clinical Nephrology
  • Hypertension
  • Management and optimization of  complex pharmacotherapies in patients with acute renal failure and all stages of chronic kidney disease including those patients receiving dialytic therapies
  • Pharmacogenomic evaluation to optimize the dosing of medications where genetic polymorphism impacts drug metabolism and disposition
  • Quotidian dialytic therapies including daily hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis
