Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with excess cardiovascular mortality, resulting
from both traditional and nontraditional, CKD‐specific, cardiovascular risk factors …

Increased aortic pulse-wave velocity (PWV) reflects increased arterial stiffness and is a
strong predictor of cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD). We examined …

The effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition on function and structure of the aorta
was studied in the Lewis polycystic kidney (LPK) rat model of cystic renal disease and Lewis …

Abstract Background/Aims: Possible predictive value of aortic-brachial arterial stiffness
mismatch assessed by pulse wave velocity PWV ratio in peritoneal dialysis patients' …

Aim When peritoneal fibrosis (PF) causes ultrafiltration failure in peritoneal dialysis (PD)
patients, PD has to be discontinued. Currently, there is no effective way to relieve PF. In this …

Abstract Background/Aims: Fluid overload is an important factor causing cardiovascular
complications in dialysis patients. We compared fluid status, blood pressure (BP) and heart …

Background Long-term exposure to hypertonic and high glucose in peritoneal dialysis fluid
can result in peritoneal fibrosis. Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) has a role in inflammation and …

Aim To elucidate the mechanism of miR‐128‐3p in peritoneal fibrosis (PF). Methods
Peritoneal mesothelial cells (PMCs) were dealt with high glucose (HG) for 3 days. The …

Background: Ambulatory pulse-wave velocity (PWV), augmentation pressure, and
augmentation index (AIx) are associated with increased cardiovascular events and death in …

Background Peritoneal fibrosis is a common complication of peritoneal dialysis, which may
lead to ultrafiltration failure and ultimately treatment discontinuation. LncRNAs participate in …
