The overarching goals of this research project are to identify neural and vascular mechanisms contributing to accelerated deterioration of kidney function in older adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Specifically, the research will examine whether older CKD patients have exaggerated reductions in renal blood flow and impaired renal oxygenation due to sympathetic nervous system over-activation. The longitudinal study will also explore the impact of heightened sympathetic activity and renal vasoconstriction on the rate of kidney function decline over time in this population. The findings from this project are expected to lay the foundation for future NIH R01 grant proposals to develop interventions for improving long-term kidney outcomes in older CKD patients.
