Welcome
to the Section of Nephrology
The
Section of Nephrology at the University of Illinois
at Chicago has a long history of excellence in
the field of nephrology. In the early 1950's,
percutaneous kidney biopsy was refined and developed
as a clinical tool at the University. The first
living kidney transplant from a living related
donor in Illinois was performed at the University
in 1968. In the area of research, the Section
has long established track record in the field
of acid-base physiology and pathophysiology.
The
Section of Nephrology is committed to excellence
in the areas of patient care, teaching, and research.
The Section of Nephrology provides clinical services
for the evaluation and treatment of the full spectrum
of kidney diseases, hypertension, and fluid-electrolyte
disorders. The Section is highly committed to
the educational mission of the University and
is actively engaged in the training of nephrology
fellows as well as the education of medical students,
residents, and physicians within the community.
We are devoted to both basic laboratory and clinical
research.
