Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Chronic Kidney Disease level of uremic toxins (serum analysis), CVD biomarkers (arterial stiffness by aortic pulse-wave velocity (PWV); atheroma burden by carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and endothelial function by flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery), and inflammation (serum markers) for two years.

All of the above will be performed at three time points baselines, 1 year and 2 year.

Summary
Brief summary
The roles of indoxyl sulphate and p-cresyl sulphate as nephro- and cardiovascular toxins has recently gained recognition, although their true association and mechanisms behind their putative deleterious actions are yet to be investigated in human studies.
The aim of this observational study is to gain a better understanding of the associations between these two protein-bound uremic toxins, IS and PCS, and Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) and CKD progression, along with other poor outcomes seen in CKD. A secondary
aim is to determine whether live kidney donors post nephrectomy have an increase concentration of these toxins and any association with morbidity in this population.
