Study probes hidden link between hormones and heart risk in kidney patients

NCT ID NCT05471518

Summary

This study aimed to understand why women with chronic kidney disease have a higher risk of heart problems. Researchers compared blood vessel function and hormone levels in 51 women with kidney disease to healthy women. The goal was to see if changes in sex hormones, which protect heart health in women without kidney disease, might explain the increased cardiovascular risk.
