U.S. Renal Care Kidney Research
We believe in the power of science to improve lives
U.S. Renal Care’s Kidney Research team is comprised of nephrologists and clinical staff who have a deep understanding of chronic kidney disease (CKD) from decades of kidney research and direct patient care. Our team writes, designs, and conducts clinical trials, and our work spans across academic collaboration, independent research, investigator-initiated research, industry-sponsored research, and federally-funded research in partnership with the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
