Dysfunctional HDL in Chronic Kidney Disease
This is an observational study examining how renal impairment affects fundamental biological processes relevant to cardiovascular disease. We plan to study four groups of subjects:
- 50 subjects with end stage renal disease on hemodialysis
- 25 subjects with end stage renal disease not yet on dialysis
- 125 subjects with chronic kidney disease not on dialysis
- 100 subjects with normal kidney function
Each subject is scheduled to undergo one assessment to test vascular health, as well as one or more blood collections.
