No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if being overweight and eating lots of protein causes separate changes in the kidney that lead to kidney disease over time. These questions are important because the number of people who have kidney disease is quickly growing. If being overweight and eating lots of protein is found to cause kidney disease, then doctors may be able to limit the number of people with kidney disease by recommending weight loss and eating less protein
