Qian Jiaqi (Chinese: 钱家麒; June 1939 – 19 November 2019), also romanized as Jia-Qi Qian, was a Chinese nephrologist and professor at Renji Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.
[1][2] Upon graduating from Shanghai Second Medical College (now Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine) in 1963, he worked at the college's affiliated Renji Hospital, where he worked under professors Huang Mingxin 黄铭新 and Jiang Shaoji.
[1][2] A pioneer of nephrology in China, Qian was the first clinical physician to perform hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis in the country.
He participated in the development of China's first indigenously designed dialyzer and created its first hemodialysis registration system in Shanghai.
[1][2] Qian was the first to propose and demonstrate a Kt/V value of at least 1.7 as the target for peritoneal dialysis,[3] which has since been adopted worldwide.
