What they personally lead.
Training and recognition
China's foremost authority on autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) — established the country's largest PKD clinical database and research program; led clinical trials evaluating tolvaptan and other emerging therapies for PKD in Chinese populations; developed standardized management protocols for PKD patients that have been adopted nationally; served as committee chairman within the Chinese Society of Nephrology for renal replacement therapy; published over 300 peer-reviewed papers on PKD pathogenesis and treatment; awarded military and Shanghai municipal science and technology prizes
What to expect
Dr. Mei is the definitive choice for international patients with polycystic kidney disease seeking expert management in China. Changzheng Hospital's PKD clinic offers comprehensive genetic counseling, imaging-based volume assessment, and access to the latest clinical trials. As a military-affiliated hospital in central Shanghai, administrative processes may differ slightly from civilian hospitals — the international patient coordinator can facilitate registration. Patients with PKD should bring family history documentation and serial renal imaging for disease progression assessment.
