Background Patients on peritoneal and hemodialysis have accelerated atherosclerosis
associated with an increase in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The atherosclerosis is …

Patients on peritoneal dialysis have a high level of morbidity and mortality associated with
atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and they also have an increased risk of sudden …

Objective In this observational study we addressed accelerated arteriosclerosis (AS) in
patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) on hemodialysis (HD) by measuring vascular …

We evaluated important nontraditional cardiovascular risk factors, endothelial function and
oxidative stress (OS) among stable peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Their association with …

Background Cardiovascular (CV) disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in
patients with end-stage renal disease. In recent years, arterial stiffness has taken on great …

Background Patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and
hemodialysis have accelerated atherosclerosis associated with an increase in …

Background: A high peritoneal transport status in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
(CAPD) patients is associated with a markedly increased morbidity and mortality. While the …

OBJECTIVE: Vascular stiffness is prevalent in end stage renal disease patients and predicts
adverse events. This study describes the prevalence of vascular stiffness and its associated …

Arterial stiffness is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with
end-stage renal failure. However, little is known about the factors that contribute to arterial …

Background. Abnormalities of vascular function and accumulation of oxidative stress have
been associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Dialysis modalities, peritoneal dialysis …
