Nationally recognized for clinical care in nephrology
Nephrologists and scientists at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s Division of Nephrology partner together to deliver top care to patients with kidney diseases and disorders. Our clinical care is nationally recognized, and our scientific efforts are internationally renowned. We’re committed to educating the next generation of nephrologists through our fellowship program in kidney diseases, and specialized fellowships in Adult and Pediatric Nephrology and Transplant Nephrology.
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is the major referral center in central Ohio for all subspecialties of medicine. Our clinical nephrology training is superb, due primarily to the large referral-based practice that draws patients from all over Ohio, as well as the contiguous states.
The Division of Nephrology and the Transplant Division work collaboratively in the Transplant Medicine Center to improve outcomes of patients with solid organ transplants. More than 200 renal, 50 liver and 50 pancreas-renal transplants are conducted each year by the Transplant Division of the Department of Surgery.
