Funded Activity Summary

The appearance of small amounts of albumin in the urine (microalbuminuria) in people with diabetes is a marker of progressive kidney disease, while microalbuminuria in the general population is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The reason why microalbuminuria develops is poorly understood. This project will investigate dysfunction of kidney tubular cells as the mechanistic basis of microalbuminuria. If proven, this will provide a new link between kidney and cardiovascular disease.
