KIDNEY EARLY EVALUATION PROGRAM (KEEP 30)

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这项研究的主要目的是确定氧化应激标志物是否能前瞻性地预测肾脏疾病高危患者尿白蛋白排泄率的升高；并证明超声测量肾脏体积可以在功能恶化之前预测早期肾单位丧失。

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. The primary aims of this study are to determine if markers of oxidative stress prospectively predict elevations in urinary albumin excretion rate in patients at high risk for kidney disease; and to demonstrate that ultrasonography measurement of renal volume can predict early nephron loss prior to functional deterioration.
