My goal is to develop a multi-disciplinary care center for patients with stage 3-4 chronic kidney disease. I plan to standardize care based on the recommendations of the kidney disease outcomes quality initiative. A database of information on the patients enrolled in the center will allow me to study factors that effect progression of chronic kidney disease, as well as test interventions to see if they improve kidney function.
