Wesley Visser

Dr. Wesley Visser is a researcher in the Department of Internal Medicine at Erasmus MC, specializing in nephrology and kidney transplantation research. His work focuses on metabolic and nutritional factors affecting patients with chronic kidney disease and transplant outcomes.

His primary research interests include:

• Nephrology and chronic kidney disease
• Oxalic acid metabolism and dietary impacts
• Kidney transplantation and graft survival
• Body composition assessment in renal patients
• Residual diuresis and transplant prognostication
• Nutritional status in kidney failure

Dr. Visser's recent publications highlight a strong trend in understanding how metabolic waste products like oxalic acid and nutritional parameters influence kidney function and transplant outcomes. His research combines clinical data with biochemical and body composition analysis, contributing to improved risk stratification in pre- and post-transplant care.

While no formal scientific awards are listed, his research has been cited in Scopus and accessed via platforms like Mendeley and Bluesky, indicating academic engagement.

Dr. Visser collaborates extensively with a multidisciplinary team at Erasmus MC, including clinicians and researchers in nephrology and transplantation. Although no formal grants or student advisement are mentioned, his co-authorship on a doctoral thesis suggests involvement in academic mentorship. His work is published in high-impact journals such as Transplantation, PLoS ONE, and Clinical Nutrition ESPEN.

He is part of an active research network focused on improving outcomes in kidney disease and transplantation, with ongoing studies into metabolic predictors of graft survival.
