  • Dr. Al-Rabadi finished his undergraduate and medical training at Jordan University of Science and Technology in 2007. Afterwards, he joined Edelman lab at Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology to study endothelial dysfunction in uremic milieu. Dr. Al-Rabdi finished his Internal Medicine training at University of Iowa in 2013 then moved on to begin nephrology training at Boston University-Boston Medical Center. He had the privilege to work with Dr. David Salant and developed special interest in Glomerular diseases. Dr. Al-Rabadi was also actively involved in teaching students and residents.

    His clinical interests include different aspects of nephrology particularly glomerular diseases, transplant, and peritoneal dialysis. He is involved in several clinical research projects and literature reviews.

    He established a unique collaboration with Dr. Laurence Beck at Boston Medical Center to initiate innovative projects related to membranous nephropathy (MN) pathogenesis with the goal of developing clinical and translational research and enhancing University of Utah role as a destination site for MN. Dr. Beck is a world-renowned expert and an authority in MN and published extensively on the pathogenesis and biomarkers in MN. He also established a collaboration with Dr. Bernstein and from Moran Eye Center to perform clinical studies related to Alport syndrome (AS). He has been working closely with Dr. Gregory who, along with Dr. Atkins, has collected samples, clinical information and pedigrees of 130 families with X- linked AS. They also identified over 30 families with probable autosomal recessive AS based on patterns of inheritance. He evaluates many patients with AS at the kidney and the transplant clinic.

    He is motivated and committed to advance the field of glomerular diseases and Alport syndrome at the university of Utah

    UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

    He is always personable, encouraging and optimistic. He provides clear concise information to explain my condition and current status. Unfortunately, like many excellent physicians, there are other demands for his time, and I will likely be seeing a different physician next time.
