My clinical experience lies in all the fields of Nephrology (Clinical Nephrology, Hemodialysis, Peritoneal Dialysis) and this is because the Nephrology Centers I was trained and educated are the most experienced in their countries. My main interest is Diabetic Nephropathy and cardiovascular complications of Diabetes Mellitus as I was trained and subspecialized in Metabolic Unit of King’s College London.
Clinical Interest:
Clinical Nephrology and mainly Diabetic Nephropathy
Renal Replacement Therapy (Haemodialysis)
Lysosomal diseases (Fabry disease)
Research Interest:
The clinical and epidemiological research in Diabetic Nephropathy emphasizing in newer therapies of Diabetes Mellitus and risk factors for renal and cardiovascular complications of diabetes with the development of prognostic models of progression.
