Biography

Stuart L. Goldstein, MD has been an active investigator in the field of pediatric acute kidney injury (AKI) since 2000. Dr. Goldstein's main research foci include AKI epidemiology and outcomes, acute renal replacement therapy provision and investigation of novel urinary AKI biomarkers in the pediatric population. Dr. Goldstein has a strong record of interdisciplinary and inter-institutional collaboration, evidenced by his establishment and directing of the Prospective Pediatric Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (ppCRRT) and its success as well as collaboration with critical care physicians, cardiologists and emergency medicine physicians to study AKI in their populations.

This collaboration includes publication of the first article demonstrating the existence of a cardio-renal syndrome in pediatric patients with acute decompensated heart failure. Dr. Goldstein has also performed the only published assessment of novel urinary AKI biomarkers in a heterogeneous group of critically ill children, demonstrating their accuracy to predict AKI development and severity. Dr. Goldstein has been developing a program to investigate and minimize nephrotoxic medication associated AKI in non-critically ill children.
