Our Story
Dr Rastogi's Clinical Research Department in the Division of Nephrology at UCLA conducts clinical research specializing in Kidney disease, Heart disease, PKD, Dialysis, Hypertension, Diabetes, Anemia, and more. We are actively recruiting patients who fulfill the inclusion criteria for each individual study! Our studies include investigational drugs and FDA approved medications that target hypertension, chronic kidney disease, hyponatremia, anemia, hyperphosphatemia, polycystic kidney disease, Fabry disease and other diseases that involve the correction of kidney functions, and many other diseases. We are consistently doing outreach and spreading health information at various talks, free lectures, and educational events.
We had a very successful inaugural Kidney Health Fair in March of 2015, with over 1000 registrants in attendance. We had 26 stations manned with experts on various topics to spread awareness and education for a diverse population. Feedback from fair participants has indicated improvements in patient lifestyles, and a heightened knowledge and interest in kidney health. In October 2015, we had a follow-up event at UCLA with over 30 educational stations, and 6 nutrition stations where people could learn about custom diets and lifestyle changes to improve their health. This event was featured on the local news, and impacted over 800 participants.
Our most current project is the UCLA Kidney Education and Enhancement Program (UKEEP). It is a free monthly lecture aimed ad educating patients of all levels about kidney health, and diseases linked to kidney health.
These are just some of the many things our office does to spread health throughout Los Angeles, and even have many patients that travel hundreds of miles to see Dr Rastogi and participate in our clinical research trials.
