OverviewAI-generated summary

Saritha Ranabothu's research focuses on pediatric nephrology, with a particular emphasis on kidney transplantation and related complications. She has investigated the impact of COVID-19 on pediatric kidney transplant recipients, contributing to the Improving Renal Outcomes Collaborative. Her work also explores hypertension in children with sickle cell disease and its association with neurological outcomes, as well as the use of renal oximetry for early acute kidney injury detection in neonates. Ranabothu has also examined the utilization patterns of specific treatments for hemolytic uremic syndrome in children and the effects of pre-emptive rituximab on EBV DNA levels in pediatric kidney transplant recipients to prevent post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. Her research network includes collaborators such as Richard T. Blaszak, Brendan Crawford, and Shelley E. Crary from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, and Krishna Nalleballe from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
