Immunologic Abnormalities, Chronic Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Chronic Kidney Disease

Completed

Conditions studied: Chronic Kidney Disease

In brief

The common causes of mortality are late stages of chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease and infections, are associated with abnormalities of the immune system, an underlying state of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. These processes have not been carefully described in the chronic kidney disease population. The researcher can use Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy to determine the immune system in individuals with chronic kidney disease and describe the association with chronic inflammation and oxidative stress in that population.
