Development of a Metabolic Assessment Tool for Chronic Kidney Disease
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy, Healthy Subjects
In brief
The purpose of this study is to examine the variation between individuals in blood lipid metabolites, and the changes in these metabolites in response to omega-3 fatty acids in patients with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) and in healthy subjects. The hypothesis is that measuring variation among individuals and changes in response to omega-3 fatty acids comprehensively by using metabolomics will help to identify those individuals who are responders and those who are non-responders to omega-3 fatty acids as an anti-inflammatory intervention.
