项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): Composite Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death for patients with kidney disease. The causes of this preponderance of cardiovascular disease in patients with kidney disease are not clear. Hypertension is also highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), representing the second most common cause of end-stage renal disease in the US. Elevated blood pressure amplifies cardiovascular risk and promotes progression of CKD irrespective of the primary cause. Since a patient with CKD is more likely to die from cardiovascular disease than to require renal replacement therapy, exaggerated cardiovascular risk is arguably the most pressing clinical problem facing nephrologists and their patients. Accordingly, the major objective of the George M. OBrien Kidney Research Core Center at Duke is to promote and support research into understanding the unique links between the kidney, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension. We recognize that progress in this area will require multi-disciplinary teams of investigators with broad expertise across a range of disciplines in the clinical and basic sciences. To this end, our Center will mobilize unique resources at Duke University Medical Center to bear upon this daunting clinical problem including. Taking advantage of our robust international research base, we will accomplish our objective through the following specific aims: (1) Develop education programs designed to highlight the importance of the interrelationship of kidney and cardiovascular disease, to inform Center investigators of the latest advances in relevant research, and to train investigators in clinical and basic science approaches to advance research. (2) Support pilot and feasibility studies to explore new areas of research relevant to the kidney in cardiovascular diseases serving as a foundation for other external funding. (3) Establish an Animal Models Core to support basic discovery research. (4) Establish a Renal Genetics Core to provide intellectual and technical support for understanding the genetics of kidney and cardiovascular diseases including hypertension. (5) Establish a Clinical/Translational Core to foster and facilitate clinical and translational research on the inter-relationships among CKD, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease.

项目摘要（请参阅说明）：复合心血管疾病是肾脏疾病患者的主要死亡原因。肾脏疾病患者中这种心血管疾病优势的原因尚不清楚。在慢性肾脏疾病（CKD）的患者中，高血压也很普遍，这是美国第二常见的末期肾脏疾病的原因。血压升高会扩大心血管风险，并促进CKD的进展，而与主要原因无关。由于CKD患者更有可能死于心血管疾病，而不是需要肾脏替代疗法，因此夸大的心血管风险可以说是肾脏病医生及其患者面临的最紧迫的临床问题。因此，杜克大学乔治·奥布里恩肾脏研究核心中心的主要目标是促进和支持研究，以了解肾脏，心血管疾病和高血压之间的独特联系。我们认识到，在这一领域的进展将需要多学科的调查员团队，这些研究人员在临床和基础科学的一系列学科中具有广泛的专业知识。为此，我们的中心将动员独特杜克大学医学中心的资源以解决这个令人生畏的临床问题。利用我们强大的国际研究基础，我们将通过以下具体目标来实现我们的目标：（1）开发旨在突出肾脏和心血管疾病相互关系的教育计划，以将相关研究的最新进展告知中心研究人员，并培训临床和基础科学方法的研究人员，以推进研究。（2）支持试点和可行性研究，以探索与肾脏有关心血管疾病中其他外部资金基础的新研究领域。（3）建立动物模型核心支持基本发现研究。（4）建立肾脏遗传学核心，以提供智力和技术支持，以了解包括高血压在内的肾脏和心血管疾病的遗传学。（5）建立一个临床/转化核心，以促进并促进有关CKD，高血压和心血管疾病之间相互关系的临床和转化研究。
