Funded Activity Summary

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects ~10-12% of the adult population and is associated with increased mortality. Activation of sympathetic nerves plays an important role in this scenario. We have pioneered a novel catheter-based approach using radiofrequency-energy to disrupt these nerves and we now aim to assess the mechanisms and consequences of applying this novel technology in patients with chronic kidney disease.
