Funded Activity Summary

Hypertensive diabetic patients are at greater risk of developing kidney disease and are often resistant to anti-hypertensive drug therapies. Removing the nerves to the kidneys can lower blood pressure however little is known of changes that occur to the nerves within the kidney in diabetes. This proposal will investigate how nerves within the kidney contribute to diabetic and diabetic-hypertensive kidney disease and whether removing these nerves slows the progression of disease.
