IRIS Award 2009 for Outstanding Research in Veterinary Nephrology
Dr. Gilad Segev, DVM, Dipl ECVIM-CA
Lecturer of Veterinary Medicine and Head, Department of Small Animal Internal Medicine; Koret School of Veterinary Medicine, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel
Dr. Segev has actively focused his clinical interests and research in nephrology and has recently established a hemodialysis program at the Koret School of Veterinary Medicine in Israel. His research interests like his creativity are broadly based. Most recently, he established a very novel scoring system which effectively predicts, at the time of hospital admission, the probability for survival in dogs treated with renal replacement therapy for the management of acute kidney failure. It is anticipated that this approach to outcome assessment will have wider application to both dogs and cat with acute kidney injury that are not be managed by hemodialysis. He has also been visionary describing some of the challenges and complications faced with the long-term management of dogs with advanced chronic kidney disease including the hyperkalemia associated with the use of therapeutic renal diets and aluminum toxicity in the management of the hyperphosphatemia of CKD. All who know him and who have followed his career recognize that he is one of the rising stars in veterinary nephrology and will at the forefront forging the new directions for this exciting discipline.
Dr Segev actively pursues and publishes in the following areas of nephrology:
Scoring system for patients with acute kidney injury managed by haemodialysis
Amyloidosis- large scale retrospective study
Hyperkalaemia associated with renal diets in dogs with CKD
Aluminimum accumulation and side effects in dogs managed with aluminium-based phosphate binders
Pharmacokinetics and efficacy of mannitol administration to healthy dogs
Correlation of GFR, urine production and fractional excretion of electrolytes with survival in dogs with acute kidney injury
