Bio

Dr. Peter Yorgin is the clinical director of the Nephrology Department at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego.

Dr. Yorgin completed his pediatric nephrology fellowship at the University of Minnesota and Stanford University. He was recruited to launch the Division of Nephrology at the University of Arizona Department of Pediatrics. Under his leadership the university established pediatric dialysis and kidney transplant programs. He returned to Stanford University in 1998 and was a productive clinical researcher, describing new dialysis techniques and post-transplant anemia in children and adult kidney transplant recipients. In 2005, he was recruited to Loma Linda University, where he was the director for pediatric dialysis and pediatric resident international elective rotations.

He was recruited as clinical director for Pediatric Nephrology at Rady Children's Hospital in 2009 and has been responsible for the vision behind the development and expansion of the nephrology program.

Dr. Yorgin's primary clinical interests are lupus nephritis, glomerular diseases, tuberous sclerosis and continuous renal replacement therapy. He has a particular interest in supporting the research careers of young pediatric nephrology faculty and fellows.
