Better cardiovascular outcomes in kidney disease [ 2014 - 2017 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Meg Jardine (Principal investigator)

Brief description The many Australians with kidney disease experience higher rates of cardiovascular events. Some of the highest rates of cardiovascular events and mortality are seen in people with kidney failure. Currently available treatments are inadequate at reducing this risk indicating an urgent need for new therapies. The program will investigate the effect of little used but readily available, promising interventions to assess their potential to reduce cardiovascular events for people with kidney disease.
