Dr. David J.A. Goldsmith
LONDON - UK

In Guy’s I see general nephrology, dialysis and transplantation patients regularly in outpatients. I am responsible for CAPD quality review. I have guided and developed a robust cardiovascular risk factor screening programme for newly / recently transplanted patients. I developed a joint Diabetic Renal clinic at Guy’s with the Guy’s diabetic team (1999). I looked after patients with von-Hippel Lindau syndrome (from 2000-2008), in one of the UK’s largest multi-professional VHL combined clinics. I have also helped to start a combined haemoncology renal clinic for patients with PTLD (2008). The Guy's renal unit has 600 dialysis and over 1000 renal transplant follow-ups. My main clinical interests are HYPERTENSION, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, INFLAMMATION AND CALCIFICATION SYNDROMES IN RENAL PATIENTS.
