Emaad Abdel-Rahman, MD, is a nephrologist who specializes in treating kidney disease for elderly patients. His own experience as a child with kidney disease inspired him to pursue a career in nephrology. He’s now the director of the UVA Kidney Center Clinic and leads one of the few home hemodialysis units in the country. • For more information, visit https://uvahealth.com/findadoctor/pro... • My name is Emaad Abdel-Rahman. I am a kidney doctor and nephrologist here at the University of Virginia. We see all sorts of kidney disease patients here at the kidney clinic in the inpatient part. I deal more with dialysis patients and trying to help with their symptoms. • My main area of research is what's called geriatric nephrology, which is kidney disease in the elderly. • I became interested in medicine ever since I was young. I had a good part of my early life in the hospitals being a patient myself and a kidney patient myself. I planned on being a kidney doctor from the beginning, from a very early age. • I am most passionate about the quality of life of our patients, really taking care of how they feel. For people with acute kidney injuries, whether they acquire temporary dialysis or not, the best day is when they are taken off the machine. And the day that they recover their kidney function, we tell them, “You no longer need to come to dialysis.” That’s really rewarding.
