Genetic risk and telomere dynamics in chronic kidney disease associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and implications for Coenzyme Q10 therapy

Key takeaways

This is a discussion paper, not a study with patients. It argues that inherited risk and aging cells may play a part in kidney disease through the tiny power plants inside cells, called mitochondria. From that it raises Coenzyme Q10, a supplement, as something worth testing. No one was treated and no results are reported, so this is an idea for future research rather than a reason to take anything.
