Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is due to the blockage of the arteries supplying blood to the
lower limbs usually secondary to atherosclerosis. The most severe clinical manifestation of …

Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is the most common acute complication in hemodialysis (HD)
sessions and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in HD patients. To prevent …

Since beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) is a surrogate marker for middle molecular weight uremic
toxins and the major protein component in dialysis-related amyloidosis, it has been …

The role of beta2-microglobulin (β 2 M) in dialysis-related amyloidosis as a specific amyloid
precursor was defined in the 1980s. Studies in those years were largely related to β 2 M …

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common manifestation of generalized atherosclerosis,
which affects more than 200 million patients worldwide. Currently, there is no ideal …

A number of conditions have been associated with functional changes of large arteries. The
aim of this study was to evaluate the factors associated with aortic stiffness in patients with …

Background The identification of new risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) is
increasingly sought in an effort to tackle this threatening disease. β2-microglobulin (B2M) is …

Objectives: This study examines the associations among serum β2 microglobulin (B2M),
malnutrition, inflammation, and atherosclerosis (MIA) in those with chronic kidney disease …

Aortic augmentation index (AIx) is used to investigate arterial stiffness. The authors tested
the hypothesis that patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) demonstrate a higher AIx …

To assess normal and pathological peptidomic changes that may lead to an improved
understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying ageing, urinary peptidomes of 1227 …
