Results for Acute Kidney Injury

Dr. Fitzgerald's research focuses on the impact of pediatric sepsis on renal dysfunction. She examines biomarkers that may be helpful in predicting renal dysfunction in septic acute kidney injury, and the impact of resuscitative therapies and pharmacometrics in sepsis on the development of sepsis-related renal dysfunction.

Dr. Levy-Erez's research is focused on the discovery of immune urinary biomarkers among children developing acute kidney injury. She is studying both a unique population of immune-compromised children after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) as well as children who have an intact immune system who develop acute kidney injury after cardiac bypass surgery.

Dr. McKenna has an interest in congenital renal and genitourinary anomalies, acute kidney injury and chronic renal insufficiency in the neonate.

The research interests of Dr. Downes focus on antimicrobial clinical pharmacology and pharmacoepidemiology in children with a goal to identify novel approaches to optimize efficacy, minimize toxicity, and limit antimicrobial resistance from antibiotics.
