The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a novel predictive biomarker that reflects
systemic inflammatory status and is routinely measured in blood tests. Owing to its ease of …

Introduction The etiology of the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and the hydration status
may be involved in the arterial stiffening process observed in hemodialyzed patients. The …

Vascular research in end-stage renal diseases is an interesting field in which the
characterization of arterial stiffness proved to be valuable to predict morbidity and mortality …

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

Background: Cardiovascular disease is a major contributor to the poor outcomes observed
in hemodialysis. We investigated the relationship between hemodialysis intensity and …

Objective: Vascular calcification is a cardiovascular risk factor in dialysis patients. Vascular
calcification involves a complex process of biomineralization resembling osteogenesis …

Background The relationship between cognitive impairment (CI) and arterial stiffness in
peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients has not been clearly clarified. The aim of this study was to …

Aims: To analyze the early vascular aging (EVA) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD)
patients, attempting to determine a potential association between EVA and the etiology of …

Purpose Major cardiovascular events (MACE) are the leading cause of mortality in patients
with chronic kidney disease. Although hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) are …

Background/objectives Vascular damage contributes to the high cardiovascular morbidity
and mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Increased aortic stiffness measured by …
