HC Marbella is proud to welcome Dr Miguel Uriol Rivera, a specialist in Nephrology, to its medical team. A specialist in Nephrology, Dr Uriol Rivera brings extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of complex renal diseases, as well as in the management of anaemia and other complications associated with renal failure.
With a degree in Medicine from the Complutense University of Madrid, Dr Uriol Rivera completed his specialised training with the MIR residency in Nephrology at the Son Dureta University Hospital in Palma de Mallorca.
Subsequently, he obtained his PhD in Basic Medical Sciences from the University of the Balearic Islands, with a thesis focused on the influence of vitamin D metabolism on the response to erythropoietic agents in patients undergoing haemodialysis.
Nephrology is the medical speciality responsible for the study and treatment of the kidneys and their functions, as well as the diseases that affect this vital organ.
Thanks to specific diagnostic tests and his experience, Dr Uriol Rivera comprehensively assesses kidney function, detecting problems that may go unnoticed until they present significant symptoms, such as fluid retention, hypertension or anaemia associated with kidney disease. His approach allows him to establish personalised treatments, ranging from conservative measures to advanced therapies and the management of dialysis patients, thus optimising the overall health and quality of life of those suffering from kidney disease.
Throughout his career, Dr Uriol has worked in the field of clinical and translational nephrology, specialising in autoimmune glomerular diseases, thrombotic microangiopathies, IgA nephropathy and refractory vasculitis.
His experience includes leading reference units and coordinating pioneering multidisciplinary teams, such as the first Thrombotic Microangiopathy team in Spain, internationally recognised alongside centres such as Harvard and Mayo Clinic.
Currently, he combines his clinical practice at HC Marbella with the management of UNIREN, the first digital platform specialising in glomerular diseases, as well as research into new therapeutic indications for renal anaemia and other complex pathologies. His approach combines comprehensive patient care with the development of innovative solutions that optimise quality of life and clinical evolution.
Dr Uriol Rivera has an outstanding scientific activity, with more than 80 international presentations and multiple publications in prestigious medical journals. He has led studies on renal anaemia, paricalcitol therapies and innovative treatments in refractory glomerulopathies, collaborating with international leaders in the field.
He has also participated as a lecturer in specialised courses and master’s programmes, training professionals in the management of patients with chronic kidney disease and kidney transplant recipients, as well as in complex syndromes such as thrombotic microangiopathies.
His work has been recognised with multiple awards and mentions, including distinctions for Good Clinical Practice, international recognition in medical education and awards for research in nephrology and kidney transplantation.
