Outline of Final Research Achievements

Chronic inflammation, which is often associated with high all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, is prevalent in patients with renal failure; however, the precise mechanisms remain unclear. We studied the effects and mechanisms of high salt loading on tissue and systemic inflammation in CKD mice and in cultured cells. Sodium chloride promoted tissue inflammation via osmotic stimuli in renal failure.
