What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Disease

Joseph Lau spends much of his time researching Internal medicine, Randomized controlled trial, Meta-analysis, Surgery and MEDLINE. His research investigates the connection between Internal medicine and topics such as Diabetes mellitus that intersect with problems in Renal function and Weight loss. The study incorporates disciplines such as Clinical trial, Adverse effect, Intensive care medicine, Placebo and Physical therapy in addition to Randomized controlled trial.

His Intensive care medicine study which covers Kidney disease that intersects with Disease and Angiotensin-converting enzyme. His Meta-analysis research includes elements of Demography, Data extraction and Confidence interval. His studies deal with areas such as Research design, Quality and Psychological intervention as well as MEDLINE.

His most cited work include:

  • K/DOQI clinical practice guidelines for chronic kidney disease: Evaluation, classification, and stratification (9292 citations)
  • NATIONAL KIDNEY FOUNDATION PRACTICE GUIDELINES FOR CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE: EVALUATION, CLASSIFICATION, AND STRATIFICATION (3549 citations)
  • Recommendations for examining and interpreting funnel plot asymmetry in meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials (2769 citations)
