点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk of experiencing heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, and other manifestations of cardiovascular disease. To help us understand the causes of heart disease in the CKD population, patients referred to the Cardiorenal Clinic at the UNC Heart Center will be asked to contribute blood specimens that will be stored for future analysis.
