About me

  • Visiting Professor of Inflammatory Kidney Diseases at the Department of

Research

  • Annette Bruchfeld’s main research interests involve inflammatory kidney
    diseases, such as IgA nephropathy, and a more unusual group of autoimmune
    kidney diseases called ANCA-associated vasculitis. The aim of the research is
    to identify new biomarkers to help improve diagnosis, prognosis and
    monitoring.
    Annette Bruchfeld is also involved in research on new treatment for kidney
    diseases, including more effective drugs with fewer side-effects aimed at
    kidney inflammation.The goal is to replace the more toxic immunosuppressant
    therapies used today and thereby reduce the burden of both the diseases and
    the treatment. One such drug is soon ready for licensing in Europe and the
    U.S. She is also researching how stimulation of the vagus nerve can be used
    as an anti-inflammatory treatment for kidney disease.
    During the COVID-19 pandemic, Annette Bruchfeld has been involved both as a
    researcher and a clinician in studying the vulnerability of people with
    kidney disease and advocating their priority for vaccination.
