We plan to use this important biospecimens to look at

NOTE Confidence: 0.8607950210571289

00:00:16.601 --> 00:00:21.980
certain questions related to patient outcomes as well as important

NOTE Confidence: 0.8607950210571289

00:00:22.061 --> 00:00:28.092
questions related to disparities that currently exist among chronic kidney

NOTE Confidence: 0.8607950210571289

00:00:28.174 --> 00:00:29.559
disease patients.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9444815516471863

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:33.760
We would like to examine certain biomarkers.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8085514307022095

00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:39.542
We would like to continue our research towards expanding the

NOTE Confidence: 0.8085514307022095

00:00:39.638 --> 00:00:45.999
questions related to racial disparities related to genetics and we

00:00:46.095 --> 00:00:51.299
feel that it has been a very important contribution by

NOTE Confidence: 0.8085514307022095

00:00:51.395 --> 00:00:56.985
the Vita Clinical research to have created this bio banked

00:00:57.081 --> 00:00:58.720
set of specimens.

NOTE Confidence: 0.7906689047813416

00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:07.557
Chronic kidney disease research currently is interested in a number

NOTE Confidence: 0.7906689047813416

00:01:07.629 --> 00:01:08.560
of questions.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9645782709121704

00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:11.240
One of them is about survival.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8490379452705383

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:18.655
Any efforts towards improving longevity in CKD, in particular dialysis

NOTE Confidence: 0.8490379452705383

00:01:18.752 --> 00:01:22.159
patients, is of immense importance.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8444250226020813

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:27.384
To that end, what we can do with these biospecimens

NOTE Confidence: 0.8444250226020813

00:01:27.477 --> 00:01:34.827
is to examine certain biomarkers, including related to nutrition, inflammation,

00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:40.595
oxidative stress, as well as genetic biomarkers and to relate

NOTE Confidence: 0.8444250226020813

00:01:40.688 --> 00:01:46.456
it to patients with different features and different levels of

00:01:46.549 --> 00:01:47.480
longevity.

NOTE Confidence: 0.7379800081253052

00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.897
This is where most likely we are heading to find

NOTE Confidence: 0.7379800081253052

00:01:51.974 --> 00:01:57.520
to discover important predictors of better outcome and improve survival.
