Obesity in the Patient with CKD: Mechanisms to Management​ with Dr Evan Zeitler

Dr. Evan Zeitler is a nephrologist-scientist interested in better understanding the mechanisms underpinning the effects of obesity on the kidney. His work focuses on understanding how kidney cell metabolism changes in response to high caloric intake and increased adiposity, with the hopes of discovering new pathways involved in the development of obesity related kidney disease. He is a practicing nephrologist and assistant professor at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, with a general nephrology clinic focusing on obesity and cardiorenal diseases.​
