The National Kidney Foundation honored Susan Furth, MD, PhD, with the 2023 Excellence in Care Award.

The purpose of this NIH-funded placebo-controlled clinical trial is to determine how well ferric citrate will lower FGF23, correct anemia and iron levels in the blood, and maintain normal levels of phosphate in children with CKD.

Dr. Furth's research focuses on defining risk factors for kidney disease progression in children; characterizing the effect of kidney function decline on neurodevelopment, cognitive abilities and behavior; identifying the prevalence and evolution of cardiovascular disease risk factors, and examining the effects of declining glomerular filtration rate on children’s growth.
