Kidney Institute

The Kidney Institute is a world-class, internationally recognized research center. Our mission is the promotion of research to better understand renal disease and to develop clinical trials for improved patient outcomes.

As one of the top kidney research centers in the country, the University of Kansas Medical Center's Kidney Institute gives hope to those with kidney disease. Our research teams identify risk factors that affect the progression of kidney disease and we develop improved treatments.

• With more than 35 KU faculty physician scientists and some 100 research associates, our nephrology program ranks No. 15 in U.S. News & World Report's Best Hospitals 2012-13. This is the fourth straight year that we have been recognized amongst the nation's top 50 nephrology programs.

Other highlights

  • Four of our nephrologists have been chosen Outstanding Doctors of America.
  • More than $6.8 million in NIH funding has been awarded to Kidney Institute members
  • KUMC has the highest three-year success rate for kidney transplant survival among all of the transplanting centers in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa.
