I am interested in the care of patients with rare genetic disorders such as familial gouty nephropathy and medullary cystic kidney disease. I am also interested in the epidemiology of chronic renal failure and end-stage kidney disease.

For Downloading:
I have produced a reciprocal graph that may help follow the progression of renal failure. It is okay to download this graph but it should not be duplicated for other than personal use without permission of the author.
Below is one of my favorite paintings. It is thought to be painted by Werner van den Valckert.
