Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Joseph L. Alge's research focuses on acute kidney injury (AKI) and its interactions with other organ systems, particularly the lungs and heart. His work investigates potential biomarkers for predicting adverse outcomes in patients experiencing AKI, especially following cardiac surgery. Alge has published research on kidney-lung interactions in AKI and acute respiratory distress syndrome, and the association of COVID-19 and vaccination with kidney function in primary glomerular disease. His publications also explore genetic factors contributing to hematuria in children and age-related changes in brain structure in pediatric chronic kidney disease. Alge has a scholarly h-index of 12 with 29 total publications and 953 citations.
