On Thursday 22 April 2021, D.M. Bovée will defend his PhD dissertation, entitled: ‘Salt, Acid, and the Renin-Angiotensin System in Chronic Kidney Disease’.
Salt-sensitive hypertension and metabolic acidosis are two common complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The studies presented in this thesis aimed to provide more insight into the pathophysiology of salt-sensitive hypertension and metabolic acidosis in CKD. In particular, emphasis is placed on the role of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Furthermore, new treatment strategies for hypertension in CKD are explored.
Due to corona, the PhD defences do not take place publicly in the usual way in the Senate Hall or in the Professor Andries Querido Room. The candidates will defend their dissertation either in a small group or online.
