About Our Division
The Division of Nephrology-Hypertension at UC San Diego is a preeminent academic nephrology division.
Dr. Joachim Ix leads the team as Chief of the division. Along with Dr. Ix, the Division consists of over 25 full-time faculty members engaged in patient care, education, and innovation in kidney medicine. In-patient nephrology care is centered at our hospitals in the La Jolla and Hillcrest neighborhoods in San Diego, but is not limited there.
Our goal is to bring outstanding nephrology care to the San Diego community broadly, and nephrology clinics and care of our patients occurs across San Diego county. We welcome you to explore our division's dynamic work in patient care, research, education, and policy.
