RESEARCH WORK

Have carried out a retrospective and prospective study of chronic renal failure and transplant patients spanning over period of 17 years and have looked into the aspects of the growth with regards to the height and weight and their variable parameters, serum biochemistry profile, effects of growth hormone and erythropoetin on growth. Effects of puberty and dialysis details on growth were also analysed.

  • >> Effect of the dose and regimes of steroids on growth pre and post renal transplant were also critically reviewed. Correlation were made between sexual maturation.
  • >> Serum Creatinine, Rejection Episodes, Cyclosporin Efficacy and relation of growth with age at transplantation.
  • >> Projects Which I Have Taken Interest In.
  • >> The long term follow up of antenatal ultrasound diagnoses of renal dilatation and reflux, renal scans including DMSA, DTPA, Mag3 radio nuclear scans and their usefulness in obstructive nephropathies, and glomerular disease, role of ultrasonography in diagnosis of renal.
  • >> Dilatation and scarring.
