Biography - Abraham W. Aron, MD

Abraham Aron, MD, is a nephrologist who says he chose his specialty because of its complexity. 

“The kidney, in my opinion, is the most complicated organ. Almost every part of the body can affect the kidney and also the kidney is involved in many processes throughout the body,” Dr. 

Aron says. “Because of this, I must not only be a good kidney specialist but also understand the patient as a whole.”

Dr. Aron treats all aspects of kidney disease but has a particular interest in glomerular diseases. The glomeruli are tiny units within the kidney where blood is cleaned. When they are damaged, protein and sometimes red blood cells leak into the urine, among other problems. 

When he meets patients, he says he likes educating them on their illness. “Then I explain the options they have and why they should or shouldn't pursue them. I like to let them know that if they were my family member, I would be recommending the same thing,” he says. “My favorite part of my job is meeting new people and giving them a better understanding of their disease process. This allows them to have more active participation in their care.”

Dr. Aron says he also enjoys learning about the most current understanding of the mechanisms of various kidney diseases and how the newest treatments may work.
