Hasan Hulwi, MD, is a physician specializing in nephrology with advanced training in the diagnosis and management of kidney disease, including acute kidney injury, end-stage kidney disease, glomerular disorders, electrolyte abnormalities, dialysis care, and kidney transplant-related care.
Dr. Hulwi earned his medical degree from Alfaisal University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, graduating with First Honors after maintaining an exceptional academic record throughout medical school. His performance on national progress examinations consistently placed him among the top medical students in Saudi Arabia.
He completed his Internal Medicine residency at Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Hospital in Al Khobar, where he gained broad experience caring for patients across general medicine and multiple subspecialties. In addition to his clinical responsibilities, Dr. Hulwi served as a teaching assistant and educational coordinator, organizing weekly case presentations and mentoring residents and interns.
Dr. Hulwi pursued specialized nephrology training through the ACGME-accredited Nephrology Fellowship at NewYork-Presbyterian Queens Hospital. His training includes comprehensive inpatient and outpatient kidney care, nephrology consultations, dialysis management, procedural care, and the treatment of patients with acute kidney injury, end-stage kidney disease, glomerular diseases, electrolyte disorders, and complex kidney conditions.
A strong interest in glomerular and autoimmune kidney disease has also shaped Dr. Hulwi’s academic work. He has authored and co-authored multiple peer-reviewed publications and case reports involving glomerulonephritis, vasculitis, monoclonal gammopathies, electrolyte disorders, and other complex renal conditions.
His research has been presented at academic conferences, including the American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week 2025, where he presented research involving an acquired Bartter-like syndrome associated with polymyxin therapy. His additional research has explored topics such as cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis, ANCA-associated vasculitis, hyponatremia outcomes, monoclonal gammopathy, and emerging approaches in kidney transplantation.
Beyond research, Dr. Hulwi has maintained a strong commitment to medical education. Throughout his residency and fellowship training, he has participated in teaching medical students and residents, led journal club discussions, presented at departmental conferences, and mentored physicians early in their training.
Dr. Hulwi brings to Florida Kidney Physicians a combination of rigorous academic training, curiosity, and a patient-centered approach to kidney care. He believes that managing kidney disease requires not only understanding complex laboratory findings and diagnoses, but also helping patients understand what those findings mean for their health and what they can do moving forward.
His approach emphasizes evidence-based medicine, thoughtful communication, collaboration with the broader healthcare team, and individualized care for patients living with kidney disease.
