Research

With state-of-the-art research facilities, Mayo Clinic doctors and scientists are studying new ways to understand and treat chronic kidney disease.

Areas being explored by Nephrology and Hypertension Research include:

  • Factors that drive progressive kidney damage in chronic kidney disease
  • Reasons for increased risk of heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) complications in people with chronic kidney disease
  • Calcium deposits (calcifications) in the blood vessels in the heart
  • High blood pressure (hypertension) and chronic kidney disease
  • Kidney disease and chronic liver disease

Mayo Clinic also heads the Nephrology Collaborative Group, a consortium of doctors who specialize in kidney diseases (nephrologists) at Mayo Clinic and at other health care facilities. The Mayo Clinic Nephrology Collaborative Group brings together these clinicians and scientists to develop and conduct prospective studies aimed at treating people with renal parenchymal diseases.

Chronic kidney disease

Research: It's all about patients

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Joseph Sirven, M.D., Professor of Neurology, Mayo Clinic: Mayo's mission is about the patient. The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
