Our mission is to advance the practice and science of kidney care.

Welcome

Welcome to the UNC Kidney Center. Our mission is to reduce the burden of kidney disease and restore kidney health. We are a multidisciplinary community dedicated to advancing knowledge in kidney disease through research in pathophysiology, therapeutics, behavioral and patient-centered interventions, and technologic innovation. Through 1) educational programs aimed at the general public and physicians in the state of North Carolina and elsewhere, and 2) transformative research that spans the spectrum from basic science investigations to real world, effectiveness clinical trials, we strive to improve the lives of people affected by kidney disease in North Carolina and beyond.
