Specializations
Acute kidney injury and perioperative renal protection
Petra Augstein’s clinical research includes work in acute kidney injury prevention, with a focus on renal protection in the setting of major surgery and hemodynamic management. This area reflects interest in therapies aimed at reducing postoperative kidney complications and supporting nephrology-oriented critical care.
- angiotensin II in vasopressor therapy
- postoperative renal outcomes
- cardiac surgery-associated kidney injury
The therapeutic emphasis is on preventing early kidney damage and improving renal perfusion in high-risk clinical settings.
Chronic kidney disease and blood pressure control
Another major area of interest is chronic kidney disease (CKD) with associated hypertension, centered on therapies that aim to slow kidney function decline and reduce cardiovascular risk. The research landscape includes combined kidney and cardiovascular endpoints relevant to long-term disease management.
- CKD progression
- hypertension management
- kidney and cardiovascular protection
This domain highlights therapeutic strategies directed at preserving glomerular filtration and limiting complications linked to progressive renal disease.
Type 1 diabetes and beta-cell preservation
Petra Augstein is also involved in research on type 1 diabetes, particularly in newly diagnosed children and adults where preservation of endogenous insulin production is a key therapeutic goal. The focus is on interventions relevant to beta-cell function and early disease modification.
- C-peptide preservation
- new-onset type 1 diabetes
- pediatric and young adult diabetes care
This area reflects interest in therapies that may help maintain pancreatic function and support metabolic stability after diagnosis.
