معرفی
Jessica van der Weijden is a researcher affiliated with the University of Groningen, focusing on nephrology and kidney donation. Her work primarily examines kidney function in living donors, with a focus on Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) prediction and long-term health implications.
- Ph.D. in Nephrology (University of Groningen, 2023)
Her research explores the dynamics of single-kidney physiology, including compensatory mechanisms after nephrectomy and the role of biomarkers like cystatin C and creatinine in assessing kidney health. She has contributed to understanding how central body fat distribution and pre-donation evaluations can optimize donor safety.
Jessica's 15 most recent articles (2023-2025) in journals like Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation and Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology focus on improving GFR prediction models, post-donation risk factors, and kidney function preservation. These works align with UN Sustainable Development Goals for health and well-being (SDG 3).
