Mirjam Laging

Mirjam Laging is a researcher in the Department of Internal Medicine at Erasmus MC, Faculty of Medicine, the Netherlands. Her work centers on kidney transplantation, living donor outcomes, and the metabolic impact of oxalic acid in renal failure patients.

Research Interests: Her research spans kidney transplantation, living donor safety, oxalic acid metabolism, graft survival, and chronic kidney disease. She investigates how pre-transplant factors such as residual diuresis and dietary oxalate intake influence transplant outcomes and long-term donor health.

The recent publications show a strong trend in clinical nephrology research, particularly in identifying modifiable risk factors for graft failure and understanding metabolic disturbances in kidney disease. Her work combines clinical data with biochemical analysis to improve patient and donor outcomes.

Scientific Contributions:

• Multiple peer-reviewed articles in Transplantation, PLoS ONE, and Clinical Nutrition ESPEN
• Active contributor to understanding oxalic acid's role in transplant nephrology
• Collaborates with leading experts in transplantation at Erasmus MC

Advising and Grants: While no formal students or grants are listed in the provided text, her involvement in doctoral theses and multi-center research suggests active participation in academic mentoring and collaborative grant-funded projects.

Labs and Teams: She is part of a robust transplant research team at Erasmus MC, focusing on improving outcomes for both kidney transplant recipients and living donors through evidence-based clinical research.
