Renal disease is an epidemic in the Southeastern US. Leading causes of kidney failure are high blood pressure and diabetes. At the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, we have scientists and clinicians working to find cures and therapies to reduce kidney failure and improve access to transplantation.
