The Effects of Phosphate on Microvascular Function
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE Higher phosphate concentrations are a known risk factor for macrovascular complications in the general population and in chronic kidney disease. In this project we will use novel methods of evaluating the effects of higher serum phosphate concentrations and phosphate intake on microvascular function. This will allow nephrologists and other clinicians to better understand and manage hyperphosphatemia and prevent microvascular complications including retinopathy, progression of chronic kidney disease and development of coronary microvascular disease.
