About Dr. Jessica Weiss, MD
Updated Sep 20, 2026 · next review Dec 19, 2026Dr. Jessica W. Weiss, MD, MCR is a kidney doctor (nephrologist) in Portland, Oregon. She is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Nephrology and Hypertension at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) School of Medicine, and she serves as Medical Director of the HMC Inpatient Nephrology Service (https://www.ohsu.edu/people/jessica-w-weiss-md-mcr).
She earned her medical degree from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in 2003, then completed internal medicine residency (2003–2006) and a nephrology fellowship (2007–2010) at OHSU (https://www.ohsu.edu/people/jessica-w-weiss-md-mcr, https://www.doximity.com/pub/jessica-weiss-md). Her listed clinical interest is blood pressure control for older adults with chronic kidney disease (https://www.ohsu.edu/school-of-medicine/nephrology-and-hypertension/faculty).
Much of her published work focuses on older adults with kidney disease, including papers on systolic blood pressure and mortality in older adults with CKD and on predicting mortality in older adults with kidney disease (https://health.usnews.com/doctors/jessica-weiss-411223). She was first author of the executive summary of the American Society of Nephrology's Kidney Health Guidance on Conservative Management in People with Kidney Failure, published in JASN (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41848792/). That guidance describes conservative management — care focused on symptoms and quality of life rather than dialysis — as part of standard care for people with kidney failure (https://www.aapacn.org/type/news/american-society-of-nephrology-clinical-practice-guideline-conservative-management-in-people-with-kidney-failure/).
