      Interests: My clinical interests are varied and include sodium disorders, hemodialysis, transjugular kidney biopsies and lipoprotein glomerulonephropathy. I am also the co-director of renal organ block for first year medical students and as such I help direct the renal education early on in medical school. I also serve as an associate editor for the American Journal of Nephrology.
