David Selewski

David Selewski, MD, is a Professor of Pediatrics at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), College of Medicine. He specializes in pediatric nephrology with a focus on critical care and neonatal kidney health. His academic roles include leadership in the American Society of Pediatric Nephrology (ASPN) and steering committees for major collaborations like the Neonatal Kidney Collaborative (NKC) and Kidney Interventions During Membrane Oxygenation (KIDMO) study group.

Education: Syracuse University (BS Biology), Rush University Medical School (MD), University of Michigan (Pediatrics Residency, Pediatric Nephrology Fellowship, MS in Clinical Research).

Research Interests: Dr. Selewski's work centers on acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonates and critically ill children, fluid management strategies, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-associated renal complications. He leads multicenter studies investigating AKI biomarkers, ECMO-CRRT integration, and long-term kidney outcomes in high-risk populations.

Publications: His research emphasizes consensus guidelines for AKI diagnosis (PODIUM criteria), fluid balance protocols, and ECMO renal support strategies. Key contributions include defining AKI epidemiology in neonatal cardiac surgery and advancing CRRT practices in pediatric critical care.

Advancing Care: Dr. Selewski's work bridges clinical nephrology and translational research, aiming to improve kidney health monitoring in neonatal intensive care units and optimize renal replacement therapies in complex cases.
