NCT ID NCT02818465

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 100 kidney dialysis patients to understand why their blood vessels get damaged, raising heart risks. Researchers measured harmful substances called AGEs in the blood and skin, and checked for genetic factors. The goal was to learn how these substances interact with a receptor called RAGE to cause vessel hardening. No new treatment was tested; this was purely an observation study.
