Through cardiovascular, metabolic and kidney research in clinic and lab environments, our researchers focus on the biology influencing disease. Our research efforts focus on improving diagnoses and identifying new pathways and treatments that improve the quality of life for patients with heart, blood and kidney diseases.
Learn more about who we areScientists and clinicians in Cleveland Clinic's Department of Heart, Blood & Kidney Research use multidisciplinary approaches to study processes that contribute to kidney and cardiovascular system dysfunction. Conditions like diabetes, hypertension and obesity, as well as the effects of aging, are common risk factors for kidney and cardiovascular diseases. Integration of studies of blood disorders and metabolic conditions, often linked to these conditions, enables our research teams to further understand pathophysiological mechanisms and develop novel treatment strategies.
