    Nishank Jain, MD, MPH, is a nephrologist and an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR. He completed his clinical and research fellowship at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX, before joining as a faculty member. His research interest is in the role of platelets in CKD pathophysiology and use of antiplatelet agents in patients with kidney diseases. He has been funded by post-doctoral fellowship grant from the American Heart Association (AHA), institutional KL2 grant and career development grants from the American Society of Nephrology and the AHA.



    Dr. Jain is passionate about education and is driven by training and engaging medical students for a career in academic medicine. He has also helped medical students receive Honors in Research upon graduation. Dr. Jain has received medical student teaching awards. He has also engaged in SSCI activities by sending medical students to present original research work at the Annual Meetings.

    Platelet, Inflammation and Thrombosis in Chronic Kidney Disease
    Role Description: We will describe an in-depth interactions between platelets and leukocytes in mouse models of platelet defect that is engineered to reduce interactions with leukocytes. This will help us determine if CKD is an exacerbating factor for inflammation in these mouse models.

    Study of uremic toxins and levels of antiplatelet therapy to investigate mechanisms of excessive stroke in patients with chronic kidney disease
    Role Description: This grant acts as a supplement to the ongoing CKD-Platelet trial. We are measuring levels of antiplatelet drugs and uremic toxins using mass spectrometry; and, compare them between the CKD and the non-CKD groups. My goal is to investigate mechanisms of higher stroke rates in CKD patients vs. non-CKD controls despite receiving antiplatelet therapy.

    PREDICT-BLEED study
    Role Description: This is an observational study of patients on chronic dialysis that are prescribed antiplatelet agents, specifically P2Y12 inhibitors. It used national registry of Medicare patients on chronic dialysis and investigated predictors of bleeding in this patient population who are prescribed antiplatelet drugs. We also explored predictors of recurrent bleeding events in subgroup analyses. As part of the program, I enrolled in a certificate course of healthcare analytics to utilize learned knowledge from the coursework in analyzing databases; hence, generate results related to antiplatelet drugs in CKD patient population. My personal goal is to generate enough knowledge that a multicenter human trial can be designed in an attempt to determine efficacy and safety of antiplatelet drugs in this vulnerable population- precisely those that are excluded systematically from landmark randomized clinical trials.

    A Mechanistic Study in Patients with Non-Dialysis Chronic Kidney Disease to Investigate Altered Platelet Response to Antiplatelet Therapy (CKD-Platelet Study)
    Role Description: This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial designed to investigate whether ticagrelor has greater antiplatelet effects than clopidogrel in non-dialysis CKD and inhibits platelets as effectively as in non-CKD controls. We also want to explore the mechanisms underlying the poor response of CKD patients to oral P2Y12 inhibitors.
