Nephrology

NEPHROLOGY

Northwestern Medicine Nephrology is a national leader in innovative kidney care and scientific excellence. In 2018, the division was awarded a prestigious National Institutes of Health O’Brien Kidney Center, which formed the Northwestern University George M. O’Brien Kidney Research Core Center (NU GoKidney). The center focuses on developing new therapies that will transform the prevention and treatment of kidney diseases. In addition to a robust research program, Northwestern Medicine Nephrology clinicians are experts in the treatment of kidney and hypertensive disorders, including acute and chronic kidney failure, electrolyte and acid-base problems, glomerular disease, polycystic kidney disease, proteinuria and transplants and renal failure.
