Zusammenfassung

Purpose: Traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) can not explain the excess mortality and morbility in HD patients (pts).This amplification in CVD risk in uremic pts has been attributed to several emerging risk factors, such as oxidant stress, hyperhomocysteinemia, hyperphosphatemia, chronic low-grade inflammation, and arteriosclerosis vessel stiffening. The aim of our study was to evaluate if there was an association between the extent of the CIMT and some of the main emerging risk factors for atherosclerosis in HD pts. Methods and Materials: 127 pts underwent bilateral B-mode ultrasonography…
