A Study to Learn More About Improving Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Its Application in Chronic Kidney Disease Due to Hypertensive Nephropathy

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the central hypothesis that autologous, adipose-derived MSC preconditioned by hypoxia will have superior kidney angiogenic function compared to untreated MSC from humans with HN and CKD.
