Renal (Kidney) Disease Research Renal disease is disease of the
kidneys. The kidneys filter our blood, removing waste, toxins,
and extra fluids by converting them into urine. Poor
circulation, infections, or structural abnormalities can cause
the kidneys to malfunction, which upsets the body's delicate
balance. Our researchers in the Department of Pathology study
the kidneys to learn how cellular and molecular abnormalities
can lead to malfunction. We also research how to improve
function in diseased or transplanted kidneys. Our Experts Kidney
