STUDY OF THE MECHANISM OF VOLUME MEDIATED HYPERTENSION

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。体积依赖性高血压最常见于黑人、肥胖、老年人或2型糖尿病患者。本研究的目的是测量血液或尿液中磷酸化蛋白的量，希望根据患者所患的原发性高血压形式来确定患者的特征。此外，可以为每位患者制定更量身定制的药物治疗计划。

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 volume dependent form of hypertension is most commonly observed in patients who are black, obese, elderly or have Type 2 diabetes. The goal of this study is to measure the amount of a phosphorylated protein in the blood or excreted in the urine with the hope of characterizing patients according to the primary form of hypertension from which they suffer. Also, a more tailored pharmacologic treatment plan can be created for each patient.
