Hruska Lab

Exploring the causes and cardiovascular impacts of CKD-MBD our lab focuses on uncovering the mechanisms behind chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder. Kidney disease leads to complications throughout the body many of which influence mortality rates. Rather than the kidney disease itself most deaths occur due to associated cardiovascular issues. The risk of cardiovascular disease in chronic kidney disease is shaped by unique factors related to CKD-MBD and understanding these relationships is central to our research.
