Miguel A. Lanaspa (DVM, PhD) is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado. His research focuses on two main areas of interest, the role of fructose and other sugars in the development and progression of metabolic syndrome and kidney disease; and the effect of hypertonicity and dehydration in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), in particular in the new epidemic of non-traditional CKD occurring in Central America and other parts of the globe known as Mesoamerican Nephropathy. He holds a K01 and an R03 award from the National Institutes of health (NIH) on the deleterious role of endogenously produced sugars in different models of acute kidney injury (AKI) including ischemia-reperfusion and induced by hyperosmolar radiocontrast agents and recently, he received two R01 awards on studies characterizing the effects of fructose blockade in hereditary fructose intolerance as well as on the role of non-caloric dietary salt in promoting leptin resistance, hypertension, metabolic syndrome and kidney disease. His studies, funded also by the Departments of Defense (DOD) and Veteran Affairs (VA) as well as by La Isla Foundation try to ascertain the cross talk between sugar and osmolality in dehydrating states in the regulation of vasopressin production, secretion and interaction with V1a, V1b and V2 receptors during the progression of kidney disease and metabolic diseases.

He is a nephrologist whose research, which has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, has focused on glomerular injury and hepatitis C associated MPGN, diabetic nephropathy, and the role of sugar (especially fructose) and uric acid in metabolic syndrome and kidney disease.
