Clinical Description
Dr. Abdel-Kader’s research interests include quality of life in chronic kidney disease (CKD), quality of care of non-dialysis dependent CKD, health information technology, and risk profiling and population health management. His prior work includes characterizing individualized quality of life in CKD, examining symptom burdens in advanced non-dialysis dependent CKD and end-stage renal disease, and examining systematic interventions to improve CKD care delivery. Future research activities focus on investigating the potential benefit of using risk modeling with systematic interventions to enhance physician care and decision making in CKD.
Dr. Abdel-Kader is a member of the American Society of Nephrology and a Fellow of the National Kidney Foundation. He is an associate editor for BMC Nephrology and an ad hoc reviewer for the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, American Journal of Kidney Diseases, Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, Nephrology Dialysis and Transplantation, Journal of Hypertension, and the Journal of General Internal Medicine. Dr. Abdel-Kader has received federal and foundational grants to fund his research including a K23 career development award, a Norman S. Coplon Extramural Grant award, and an R01. His publications have included manuscripts in Critical Care Medicine, the American Journal of Kidney Diseases, Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, and the Journal of Hypertension and have been highlighted by NPR's Shots health coverage.
Dr. Abdel-Kader completed his undergraduate training at Washington University, before pursuing his medical degree at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson (now Rutgers Medical School). He completed his residency in internal medicine and chief residency at Brown University School of Medicine before specializing in nephrology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. In addition, he has a master’s in medical education and is a doctoral candidate in clinical and translational science. Dr. Abdel-Kader is board certified in internal medicine and nephrology and maintains an active clinical nephrology practice
Dr. Abdel-Kader is a member of the Vanderbilt Center for Kidney Disease (VCKD). For more information regarding VCKD, please click the link below.
