2009 IRIS Award Winner

Gilad Segev DVM, Dipl ECVIM-CA
Lecturer of Veterinary Internal Medicine and Head, Department of Small Animal Internal Medicine; Koret School of Veterinary Medicine, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

Dr. Segev (shown here receiving the 2009 IRIS Award from Dr. Scott Brown, IRIS Board Member) has focused his clinical interests and research in nephrology and has recently established a hemodialysis program at the Koret School of Veterinary Medicine in Israel. Most recently, he established a 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 injury. It is anticipated that this approach to outcome assessment will have wider application to both dogs and cats with acute kidney injury that are not managed by hemodialysis. He has also studied hyperkalemia associated with the use of therapeutic renal diets and aluminum toxicity in the management of hyperphosphatemia in patients with CKD.
