Research Description

Dr. Tiane Dai's experimental and clinical research focuses on all aspects of diabetic kidney disease, glomerulonephritis and peritoneal dialysis. She has discovered molecules in the urine that facilitate the identification of kidney disease early on. Her most recent research interest converges on treatment strategies for preventing peritoneal membrane functional decline in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis for their end stage renal disease.
