Conditions
Brief summary
Endothelial progenitor cells derived from and delivered to the renal vasculature may be stimulated to initiate differentiation programs during episodes of injury. It is hypothesized that endothelial progenitor cells from the kidney can transition to a phenotype that promotes endothelial repair.
Detailed description
This is an interventional study involving patients that have a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease. Patients will have at least stage 3 chronic kidney disease stage or greater. Kidney-derived endothelial progenitor cells will have been obtained using associated protocols that are currently approved by the Partners Human Research Committee.
Interventions
Kidney-derived endothelial progenitor cells will be delivered percutaneously to the kidney blood supply.
