Children's

This system increases the surgeon's visibility and allows maximum

with transplantation surgery.
Methodist
Health System

a form of continuous renal replacement therapy that facilitates maintenance
of hemodialysis for patients with blood pressure instability, and
utilized on chronic patients with the need for longer intermittent
therapies.
The
PKD Foundation
- To fund research under the direction of Zhendong Ma, Ph.D.
"Genome-wide combinatoril analysis of HNF-1B target genes in
kidney". Polycistic kidney disease (PKD) is the leading hereditary
renal disease resulting in end-stage renal failure in the United States.
The results of the proposed research will help to elucidate the mechanism
of PKD and identify targets to development treatment for PKD.
UT
Southwestern Medical Center
- The purchase of one state-of-the-art digital nephroscope, one digital
ureteroscope and a digital controller to allow mapping and sampling
of areas within the kidney collecting system which are accessible
at the time of endoscopic kidney stone removal.
Membership dues provide the much needed resources to raise funds for
the selected beneficiaries. Join us! Everyone's participation will
ensure another successful year.
