Dr. Klemmer is primarily interested in clinical nephrology, particularly metabolic bone disease, disorders of divalent ion metabolism, and their relationship to vascular calcification. Other interests include renal dysfunction in hepatic disease, inherited interstitial renal disease - including Gitelman's syndrome and medullary cystic renal disease - environmental renal disease and the mechanisms by which tobacco promotes atherosclerosis. Dr. Klemmer teaches about mechanisms of hypertension development, integrates whole organ and whole body physiology with more recent genetic and molecular biological discoveries. His clinical interests extend to outpatient dialysis and improving patient outcomes.
