Subrata Debnath, MBBS, MPH, PhD

Instructor/Research

Neurobehavioral symptoms such as fatigue and depression are highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) especially in end-stage kidney disease. However, research elucidating the etiology of these symptoms is limited. My overall research focus is to examine the relationship of deranged essential amino acids and fatigue and depression in advanced CKD. I am also interested in evaluating the efficacy of nutritional interventions in mitigating these symptoms and other renal outcomes in patients with kidney disease.
