Glomular Disease Clinic
Glomerular Diseases are the third most common cause of end-stage kidney disease, after diabetes and hypertension, accounting for about 10% of patients on dialysis. To provide optimal management of patients with those diseases, a subspecialty clinic focusing on the diagnosis and management of glomerular diseases has been established at the University of Louisville. The clinic also provides an excellent learning opportunity for Nephrology fellows rotating through the clinic. The following curriculum has been developed to enhance the learning experience.
