Declining Kidney Function Is Associated with Altered Erythrocyte Membrane Fatty Acid Profiles and Estimated Enzymatic Indices

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at blood samples from 282 people with different levels of kidney function. It found that as kidney function declined, the fatty acids in red blood cells changed. This is an observational study, so it shows a link but not proof of cause. It could help doctors find new ways to monitor kidney health.
