Mandelina Allamani

Mandelina Allamani serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Nephrology at the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Belgium. Based at Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel (UZB) with address Laarbeeklaan 101, 1090 Jette, she specializes in Internal Medicine with a focus on Nephrology.

Her research spans critical areas of dialysis management and hypertension control, with fingerprint topics including Dialysis Solutions (100%), Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator (65%), taurolidine (64%), Hypertension (56%), Blood Pressure monitoring (55%), and Catheter dysfunction (45%). Her work emphasizes practical solutions for dialysis complications and personalized blood pressure management in renal patients.

Analysis of her publications reveals a strong focus on catheter-related complications in hemodialysis, with taurolidine-urokinase lock solutions as a recurring intervention theme. Her research consistently integrates ambulatory blood pressure monitoring to optimize dialysis prescriptions, particularly for intradialytic hypertension management. The 2020-2025 publications demonstrate progression from observational studies to randomized controlled trials.

Professional activities include regular participation in major nephrology conferences including the Annual BVN Meeting (2023), Huisartsensymposium Nefrologie (2023-2024), and RadboudUMC's 35e (Na)Scholing Nierziekten (2024). She collaborates extensively with Karl Martin Wissing, Tom Robberechts, and Patricia Van Der Niepen across multiple studies.

Her clinical-academic work operates within UZB's nephrology infrastructure, focusing on translational research that bridges dialysis unit challenges with laboratory investigations of catheter lock solutions and blood pressure dynamics. Current projects indicate ongoing research into taurolidine-based interventions and personalized dialysate composition.
