• Clinical Nephrology and mainly Diabetic Nephropathy

• Renal Replacement Therapy (Haemodialysis)

• Lysosomal diseases (Fabry disease)

Research Interest:

The clinical and epidemiological research in Diabetic Nephropathy emphasizing in newer therapies of Diabetes Mellitus and risk factors for renal and cardiovascular complications of diabetes with the development of prognostic models of progression.
