Personal profile

Research

For more than 25 years I have been working with transport of water and salts in specific cells in the renal tubular system. I am particularly interested in the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the kidney disease lithium-induced Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus. Patients with bipolar disorders are treated with lithium salts, and lithium can unfortunately cause Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus with severe polyuria and polydipsia.
