The Division of Nephrology and Hypertension is committed to the research, treatment and prevention of kidney diseases, including acute and chronic renal failure, complications of chronic dialysis treatment, hypertension, and kidney stones and cystic disease.
Led by Sharon Moe, MD, the division is one of the largest in the U.S. It holds a diverse group of 54 faculty members, including clinicians, physician scientists, PhDs and volunteers. Faculty are active leaders in the American Society of Nephrology, National Kidney Foundation and Renal Physicians Association.
The division provides clinical care at six major hospitals and sees nearly 26,769 patients in clinics per year, over 8,000 acute inpatient consults per year and more than 1,000 outpatient dialysis patients at 21 different units specializing in home therapies. Our kidney transplant program performs nearly 300 transplants per year, specializing in highly sensitized patients. The division has over $14 million in extramural research, with a diverse portfolio of NIH-funded laboratory and clinical research, Veterans Affairs funding, industry/foundation funded trials and investigator-initiated support. We are home to seven center grants, including NIH funded Kidney Precision Medicine Program (KPMP), O’Brien Center, The Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) and Musculoskeletal Clinical Research Center.
The Division of Nephrology offers three fellowship programs: a categorical nephrology fellowship, transplant nephrology fellowship and home dialysis fellowship. Fellows manage a combination of common and rare renal diseases among a diverse patient population at IU School of Medicine clinical facilities in Indianapolis as part of one of the leading nephrology programs in the United States.
