Identifier
5IK2BX004986-06
Research project funded by NIH and VA to study kidney tubular cell function and its role in acute kidney injury risk, aiming to develop predictive clinical tests.
Description
This project aims to study measures of tubular function in the kidney to understand how acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs and to develop clinical tests that can predict the risk of AKI. The research involves evaluating markers of tubular dysfunction, examining longitudinal changes, and investigating causes of AKI such as dehydration, infection, and episodes in ICU settings.
