Biography
Dr. Dahl has expertise in diagnosis and management of inherited (or genetically based) kidney disease. Her main focus has been ADPKD and other cystic kidney diseases which mimic ADPKD. She is the medical director of the New Haven DaVita unit providing in center hemodialysis, home hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. She is the Director of the Nephrology Clinical Trials program overseeing studies in ADPKD, diabetes and hypertension. In collaboration with Dr. Dinesh Singh she runs the Yale Kidney Stone Clinic.

Research
Overview
In collaboration with Dr. Tinika Montgomery (nephrology), Drs. Dinesh Singh, Piruz Motamedinia, and Tim Tran (urology) we have created a Kidney Stone Registry to track important aspects of kidney stone management.
In the inherited kidney disease space I am most interested in those aspects of clinical research which improve care for ADPKD patients.
