Prakash Gudsoorkar, MD

I am Dr. Prakash Gudsoorkar, MD, FASN, FNKF, and I serve as an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Nephrology and the Kidney C.A.R.E. (Clinical, Advancement, Research & Education) Program at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. Following my Internal Medicine and Nephrology training in India, I pursued advanced fellowships in Nephrology and Transplantation at the University of Toronto, Canada, where I collaborated with leading institutions such as the University Health Network, Toronto General Hospital, St. Michael's Hospital, and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center. In February 2020, I had the privilege of joining the faculty at the University of Cincinnati.
My clinical and research interests are multifaceted, focusing primarily on quality improvement in acute kidney injury, exploring home dialysis options, and contributing to the emerging field of onconephrology.
I am honored to be actively involved in several esteemed professional organizations and initiatives.
Currently, I serve on the Editorial Board for the Advances in Kidney Disease and Health (AKDH) [previously Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease (ACKD)] Journal, Editorial board member for American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney News, and am a member of the Position Statement and Education Committee for the American Society of Onconephrology (ASON). I also provide mentorship through the International Society of Nephrology's (ISN) mentorship program and act as a Faculty Mentor for NephSim Nephrons. Additionally, I am part of the Medical Advisory Board for the National Kidney Foundation's Ohio Chapter.
Through these roles and my clinical practice, I aim to contribute to advancing nephrology as a science and a means to improve patient care. I invite you to explore this website to learn more about my work, research, and contributions to the field.

Nephrology

As the Medical Lead for the Onconephrology Clinic, I oversee a specialized service addressing renal complications commonly encountered in cancer patients. Our clinic provides expert care for various kidney-related issues arising from cancer treatments and conditions, including chemotherapy and immunotherapy-induced nephrotoxicity, electrolyte imbalances, hypertension due to targeted therapies, proteinuric conditions, and chronic kidney disease in cancer survivors. Moreover, the clinic extends its care to more specialized renal complications such as amyloid-related kidney diseases, paraproteinemia disorders, post-bone marrow transplantation and nephrectomy complications, radiation-induced kidney injuries, and sickle cell nephropathy. Beyond delivering patient care, the clinic serves as an invaluable educational platform for our nephrology fellows, offering hands-on experience and comprehensive learning opportunities in the intricate field of onconephrology. I have been instrumental in setting up this clinic at UC Health
