UNC Dialysis Research
Conducting innovative patient-centered research to improve the lives of people with kidney disease
Epidemiology
We conduct large cohort studies using modern study designs and analytic methods, focusing on medication safety and volume management among individuals with kidney failure.
Qualitative Methods
We apply a range of methods to elicit patient preferences and priorities which inform development of patient-reported outcome measures, health education, and interventions.
Clinical Trials
We design and conduct clinical trials that test the efficacy, effectiveness, and safety of strategies aimed at improving clinical and patient-reported outcomes.
Implementation Research
We develop, test, and refine interventions to promote person-centered care approaches, focusing on real-world implementation to enhance equity, efficiency, and sustainability.
