Nephrology

Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital is a public tertiary teaching hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa. Established in the late twentieth century and affiliated with the University of the Witwatersrand, it serves as a major referral center in Gauteng. As an academic hospital, it integrates specialist care, training, and research, with a strong presence in nephrology and internal medicine.

The publication profile highlights a sustained focus on chronic kidney disease, dialysis modalities, transplantation, and HIV related renal complications. Research addresses progression risk factors, late referral patterns, quality of life, and outcomes of peritoneal dialysis in resource constrained settings. Work on thrombotic microangiopathy, COVID 19 in haemodialysis, and complex autoimmune disease reflects broad clinical expertise.

Key strengths include contextualized research on HIV associated kidney disease, equitable access to dialysis, and multidisciplinary transplant care. The institution contributes evidence that informs policy and clinical practice in Southern Africa, advancing patient centered nephrology in high burden, low resource environments.
