Research Abstract
Dr. Obi studied medicine at Yamanashi Medical University in Japan and also obtained his PhD degree from Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Japan. He is a Fellow of the Japanese Society of Internal Medicine (FJSIM), a Japanese-board certified nephrologist/transplant physician, and a Fellow of the American Society of Nephrology (FASN). Since he joined Dr. Kalantar's research team at UC Irvine in September 2014, he has published >15 papers with his name under the first author in several high-impact, peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Obi conducts research studies centered on residual kidney function and disorders of bone and mineral metabolism in dialysis patients. He also participates in prospective translational studies using urine samples from non-dialysis dependent CKD patients and kidney transplant recipients.
