Dr. Goilav is a pediatric nephrologist who is board certified in Pediatrics and Pediatric Nephrology. Her research interest is in lupus nephritis. She is currently doing translational research studying the role of very small interfering RNAs, called microRNAs, in the development and progression of lupus nephritis and their detection in human urine samples, as well as their role as biomarkers of disease activity. Dr. Goilav is highly rated in 5 conditions, according to our data. Her top areas of expertise are Lupus Nephritis, Glomerulonephritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), and Chronic Kidney Disease.

Frederick J. Kaskel, MD, PhD, is involved in basic and clinical investigations into the mechanisms of the major kidney disorders in pediatrics. He is particularly interested in the physiology and pathophysiology of normal and abnormal development and function of the kidneys throughout the critical periods of growth and maturation extending into adolescence and young adulthood. He is actively involved in a clinical trial funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to find the most efficacious therapy for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, one of the major causes of progressive glomerular disease, while investigating the molecular etiologies for its expression. Another NIH-supported study involves chronic kidney disease in children and how it affects their growth and neurocognitive development, and the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and renal progression. Dr. Kaskel is highly rated in 7 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Nephrotic Syndrome, Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, Minimal Change Disease, Metabolic Acidosis, and Kidney Transplant.
