First seen Jan 22, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study looked at 100 adults on hemodialysis (kidney filtering) to understand how certain waste molecules, called AGEs, damage blood vessels and increase heart risk. Researchers measured AGE buildup in blood and skin, checked blood vessel hardening with X-rays, and analyzed genetic factors. The goal was to learn more about the disease process, not to test a new treatment.
