Treatment of Chronic Renal Failure
The Bronx VA is participating in a research study to explore the beneficial effect of lowering homocysteine levels in patients with chronic renal failure. Chronic renal failure is associated with elevated levels of homocysteine which can be significantly reduced by treatment with folate, B6, and B12. It is thought that elevated levels of homocysteine may lead to vascular events that cause increase risk of arterial thrombosis, coronary disease of cerebrovascular events. This study will follow these clinical endpoints. Dr. Langhoff's basic research interests are HIV-1, Cytomegalovirus, and Polyoma Virus.
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.
