My special interests include evaluation of kidney function, electrolyte disorders (including inherited disorders), transplant medicine and pediatric pharmacology. The latter two include special interest in immunosuppressive medications, differences between children and adults in drug metabolism and dosing, and the chronic complications of transplant recipients.
