Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Renal function

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Kidney disease, Internal medicine, Renal function, Endocrinology and Creatinine. His Kidney disease research includes elements of Epidemiology, Nephropathy, Intensive care medicine, Hazard ratio and Risk factor. His Internal medicine research incorporates themes from Gastroenterology, Surgery and Cardiology.

His Renal function research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Diabetes mellitus, Disease, Pathology and Urology. His Cystatin C and Creatinine blood study in the realm of Creatinine interacts with subjects such as Estimating equations. His research integrates issues of Transplantation, Kidney transplantation, Incidence and Hemodialysis in his study of Dialysis.

His most cited work include:

  • A more accurate method to estimate glomerular filtration rate from serum creatinine: A new prediction equation (12633 citations)
  • A New Equation to Estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate (12427 citations)
  • K/DOQI clinical practice guidelines for chronic kidney disease: Evaluation, classification, and stratification (9292 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Internal medicine, Kidney disease, Renal function, Creatinine and Endocrinology. The concepts of his Internal medicine study are interwoven with issues in Gastroenterology, Surgery and Cardiology. His Surgery study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cohort study and Myocardial infarction.

The Kidney disease study combines topics in areas such as Intensive care medicine, Disease, Proteinuria, Kidney and Hazard ratio. Andrew S. Levey interconnects Diabetes mellitus and Urology in the investigation of issues within Renal function. His Creatinine study combines topics in areas such as Epidemiology and Confidence interval.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (59.46%)
  • Kidney disease (58.04%)
  • Renal function (56.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Renal function (56.47%)
  • Kidney disease (58.04%)
  • Disease (18.61%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Renal function, Kidney disease, Disease, Internal medicine and Glossary are his primary areas of study. Andrew S. Levey has researched Renal function in several fields, including Creatinine, Intensive care medicine, MEDLINE and Urology. His study in the field of Cystatin C is also linked to topics like Estimating equations.

His studies examine the connections between Urology and genetics, as well as such issues in Dialysis, with regards to Hemodialysis, Transplantation and Kidney transplantation. His Kidney disease research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cardiology, Randomized controlled trial, Acute kidney injury, Physiology and Cohort. His Internal medicine study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Diabetes mellitus.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global, regional, and national burden of chronic kidney disease, 1990–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 (401 citations)
  • Change in albuminuria as a surrogate endpoint for progression of kidney disease: a meta-analysis of treatment effects in randomised clinical trials (81 citations)
  • Change in albuminuria and subsequent risk of end-stage kidney disease: an individual participant-level consortium meta-analysis of observational studies (78 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Surgery

Andrew S. Levey spends much of his time researching Kidney disease, Renal function, Internal medicine, Creatinine and Albuminuria. His work deals with themes such as Environmental health, Randomized controlled trial, Acute kidney injury, Depression and Risk factor, which intersect with Kidney disease. The various areas that he examines in his Renal function study include Cross-sectional study, Disease, MEDLINE and Hazard ratio.

His Internal medicine study frequently links to related topics such as Diabetes mellitus. His Creatinine study incorporates themes from Metabolite and Urology. His research in Albuminuria focuses on subjects like Cohort study, which are connected to Retrospective cohort study, Blood pressure and Transplantation.
