Johns Hopkins Children’s Center pediatric nephrologist Dr. Olga Charnaya is advancing understanding of how dialysis cyclers works—but she isn’t doing it alone. Dr. Charnaya recently presented research and had it published with the help of her elementary school-aged son, Sam! ✨

Dr. Charnaya often heard questions during clinical meetings about how dialysis cyclers, machines that do dialysis at home on patients with kidney failure, pull fluid when multiple bags are connected at once. Understanding whether the cycler draws fluid all at once or one bag at a time is important for knowing how well waste and fluid are being removed from the body.

Dr. Charnaya brought the question to Sam. Without prompting, Sam came up with his own idea on how to conduct an experiment. 🧪

Together, the mother-son duo tested the cycler using three bags filled with different colored liquid and found that the machine pulls from all bags at once.

Sam then presented this research during his elementary school science fair, where he won second place! 🏆

Dr. Charnaya and Sam also presented their research at the Annual Dialysis Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. Their research was later published in Journal of the International Pediatric Nephrology Association.

Way to go, Sam! 💙
