Renal (Kidney Health and Disease)

The Renal Division at BWH has been recognized by US News and World Report as the number one kidney program in the US for four out of the last five years.  The Division is recognized internationally for its outstanding faculty, who have made seminal contributions to the field of nephrology, and for outstanding clinical care.

The clinical mission of the Division is to provide quality care to patients with all types of acute and chronic disease of the kidney, while maintaining an outstanding research program to create new knowledge relevant to the normal and diseased kidney.  Our clinical activities span the entire spectrum of kidney health and disease and include developmental and genetic abnormalities, acute kidney injury, acquired alterations of metabolic function, hypertension immunological/inflammatory processes, vascular access, chronic kidney disease and transplantation.

At the Brigham and Women's Hospital Renal Division you'll have the confidence of being treated by one of our highly trained kidney specialists. Our team includes internationally recognized clinicians who are faculty at Harvard Medical School and have years of experience in treating all aspects of kidney disease.
