Dr. Mduduzi Mashabane

Mduduzi Mashabane is a South African clinician–researcher whose work centres on nephrology and internal medicine, with strong ties to Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital and the University of the Witwatersrand. His scholarship addresses kidney disease in resource-constrained settings, contributing to national discussions on renal replacement therapy and access to care.

Research explores patterns of renal pathology in Soweto, highlighting the evolving burden of secondary glomerular diseases driven by HIV and lupus. Work on dialysis-requiring acute kidney injury examines epidemiology, outcomes, and ethical pressures in the public sector, offering context-specific insights into morbidity, mortality, and service delivery challenges.

Additional contributions include cardiovascular assessment in chronic kidney disease using advanced echocardiographic techniques and reporting on transplant-related complications such as sirolimus-induced lymphoedema. Collectively, these publications demonstrate expertise in clinical nephrology, cardiorenal interactions, and health systems advocacy within South Africa.
