Cardiovascular Business has reported on research led by Dr. Xiao-Feng Yang, Professor and Associate Director of the Lemole Center for Integrated Lymphatics and Vascular Research at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University. The study found that chronic kidney disease, when combined with high-fat diets, can lead to inflammation in blood vessels. Dr. Yang’s work aims to clarify how kidney health is linked to cardiovascular disease.
“Cardiovascular Business highlighted research led by Xiao-Feng Yang, MD, PhD, FAHA, Professor and Associate Director of the Lemole Center for Integrated Lymphatics and Vascular Research at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, that uncovered a key piece to the connection between the kidneys and cardiovascular disease, where chronic kidney disease and high-fat diets combine to trigger blood vessel inflammation.”
The findings contribute to a better understanding of risk factors that connect kidney problems with heart-related conditions.
