Overview

. My area of interest in Clinical Nephrology are Peritoneal dialysis and Dysnatremias. I have been involved as SubPrincipal Investigator for Emory with international Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes Practices and Patterns Study (PDOPPS) from 2013-2021, Peritonitis Tracker Pilot Study for Optimizing Prevention of PD Associated Peritonitis (OPPUS) in the US for 2020-21 and Chronic Kidney Diseases Outcomes Practices and Patterns Study (CKDOPPS) since 2018. I have been part of General CKD Work Group for CKDOPPS and collaborating with Dr. Roberto Pecoitis-Filho on research projects.
