Dr. Lopez Romulo's core work focuses on dialysis — both hemodialysis (using a machine to filter blood) and peritoneal dialysis (filtering through the lining of the abdomen) — along with vascular access procedures needed to make dialysis work safely. He also performs kidney biopsies with ultrasound guidance, places catheters for dialysis access, manages acute kidney failure requiring continuous renal replacement therapy, and carries out therapeutic plasma exchange (a blood-cleansing procedure). His additional procedural skills include paracentesis (fluid drainage from the abdomen), airway intubation, and central venous catheterization.

He brings a patient-centered approach and is fluent in English, Spanish, Arabic, and Russian, making him accessible to a diverse patient population across the UAE and region.
