  • IgA Nephropathy
  • Proteinuria

I have been a Consultant since 2014 and was appointed as a Consultant Kidney Specialist or Nephrologist at the Renal and Transplantation Unit, St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in 2019.

I am able to offer consultations on all aspects of adult nephrology including acute and chronic kidney disease, proteinuria, nephrological causes of non-visible haematuria, hypertension (high blood pressure), renovascular disease, diabetic kidney disease, polycystic kidney disease and glomerulonephritis including nephrotic syndrome (minimal change disease, FSGS, membranous nephropathy), lupus nephritis, ANCA vasculitis and IgA nephropathy.

My expertise in all aspects of chronic kidney disease with a focus on the latest evidence based practice means I am uniquely placed to offer tailored advice to patients with the early stages of chronic kidney disease about how to prevent progression to more advanced stages of the condition.

My outpatient work focuses on my specialist interest of autoimmune renal disease as well as general nephrology outpatients including chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetic nephropathy, hypertension and renal transplantation. I manage cohorts of haemodialysis patients at St George’s Hospital and in Kingston. As part of the London Kidney Network I sit on the steering groups for a number of quality improvement workstreams including the vascular access, and the CKD prevention workstreams.

In South West London, I have been working in a collaboration with primary care to improve the management of chronic kidney disease for all patients in the region and I have led the authorship of South-West London's CKD management guideline.

I graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2001 and completed my specialist training in Renal Medicine within the South Thames Renal Programme. During this time I completed my PhD as a Wellcome Trust Clinical PhD Fellow at the MRC Clinical Sciences Centre, Imperial College.

My clinical research interests are focused on patients with autoimmune renal disease and I am an established investigator for clinical studies in IgA nephropathy, primary FSGS, lupus nephritis, renal anaemia and dialysis. I am the Specialty Group Lead for Renal Disorders for the NIHR South London Research Delivery Network.
