The implementation of the various training programs has built a culture of community for Cardio-Renal researchers and clinicians at UAB. Notably, several of our training programs are supported with ...

Renal physiology underpins the body’s ability to maintain homeostatic control over blood pressure, electrolyte balance and fluid volume. Recent advances in mathematical modelling have facilitated a ...

The kidneys are central to the maintenance of fluid and electrolyte homeostasis, with intricate tubular processes that regulate blood pressure. Renal physiology involves the coordinated activity of ...

Researchers have developed the first model of kidney filtration in the lab that accurately mimics human kidney physiology. The model represents a leap in chronic kidney disease research and could help ...

This four and a half day annual workshop is held on the UCSD/VASDHCS campus. Led by Dr. Volker Vallon, faculty from UCSD and UAB organize an annual workshop designed to practice animal handling and ...

hands holding red heart and kidney with stethoscope, world kidney day Histologic lesions in the kidney may reflect systemic processes that lead to cardiovascular events, according to investigators.

Acute kidney injury is common in critically ill patients, many of whom receive renal-replacement therapy. However, the most effective timing for the initiation of such therapy remains uncertain. Of ...

In summary, this study shows that CKD can speed up brain aging and memory loss, and that men and women are affected in ...

Heart and Circulatory Physiology reveals that chronic kidney disease (CKD) accelerates cognitive decline through interconnected damage to the heart and brain—and that these pathways differ markedly ...
