Associated Partner: Membrana GmbH, Wuppertal Figure 2: General approaches of NTCVD CONCLUSION This project aims to use proven and in some instances proprietary molecular, genomic and proteomic approaches to identify and characterize the unknown mediators potentially involved in the accelerated CVD in CKD (stage 3-5). Furthermore the consortium will have to characterize known mediators in detail with respect to their cardiovascular effects. The findings and results will culminate in the conception and development of innovative tools to diagnose, prevent and treat CVD in CKD patients.

This approach is focused on human samples i.e. tissues, cells and body fluids as humoral targets are altered in CVD of CKD patients. NTCVD applies "forward genetics" from phenotype to gene to remedy the causes of the enormously accelerated cardiovascular morbidity and death in CKD (stage 3-5) and to develop novel diagnostics and therapeutics, based on molecular genotyping and phenotyping. This will be done (A) by elucidating the role of recently identified mediators relating to CVD in CKD by using bioassay approaches and pattern analysis of CKD patient samples, and (B) by the identification of yet unknown mediators.
