About me

Dr. Diana Kwong is a nephrologist who diagnoses and treats kidney disease. She educates patients on how to keep their condition from progressing and prepares them for dialysis should they develop end-stage renal disease.

In Kwong's research, she uses advanced statistical methods to better define mechanisms of acute kidney injury. Her goal is to develop targeted therapies to halt and reverse kidney damage.

Kwong earned a bachelor's degree in public health studies at Johns Hopkins University and her medical degree at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, where she also completed a residency in internal medicine. She has contributed to medicine in other countries, participating in research at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology as well as working with Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital in China on improving its residency program. She completed a fellowship in nephrology at UCSF.

      I really appreciate that Dr YT Kwong has always been so thorough and up to date with my health condition and treatment and reports by the various other specialties. She updated my medication list as usual. I value her advice regarding what to expect as I am on high risk of gout flare up and the need to stay active. I certainly feel very comfortable and I know I am in good hands. Thank you, Dr. Kwong.
