This study tests whether a natural supplement called nicotinamide riboside can improve artery stiffness and lower blood pressure in people with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease. About 118 adults aged 35-80 will take either the supplement or a placebo for 3 months. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce heart disease risk in this high-risk group.
