for 3 months vs. placebo (n=59/group) for decreasing aortic stiffness and SBP in men and women (35-80 years) with stage III and IV CKD. We hypothesize that treatment will be safe and well-tolerated, and will reduce CFPWV and SBP, as related to increases in systemic NAD+ ...
Cumulative evidence has shown that kidney stone formers are at high risk for developing end-stage renal disease(ESRD) and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this mini-review is to summarize the present knowledge about the close relationships among kidney stone formation, chronic kidney disease(CKD)...
