Project description:<p>The Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC study) was established in 2001 by the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) to improve the understanding of the relationship between chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. The goals of the CRIC Study are to examine risk factors for progression of chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease among patients with chronic kidney disease and to develop predictive models to identify high-risk subgroups, informing future treatment trials and increasing application of available preventive therapies.</p>

Project description:Resistant hypertension (RH) has emerged as a formidable challenge in the realm of hypertension prevention and treatment, owing to its potential for causing severe target organ damage. The identification of biomarkers assumes paramount significance in unraveling the pathogenesis of RH and facilitating early diagnosis and treatment. Despite the conduct of several single omics studies on RH, the intricate pathogenesis of this condition remains only partially understood. In this study, we comprehensively analyzed metabolomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics on healthy individuals, hypertensive patients, and those with RH. A variety of substances were screened, as potential diagnostic markers for RH. The hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) signaling pathway was identified as the pathogenic signaling pathway for RH. In conclusion, this study provides multi-omics analysis information to enhance our understanding of the pathogenesis of RH and to explore potential diagnostic markers, providing new insights for the search for effective therapeutic targets.
