BACKGROUND:: Circulating levels of cytokines and other inflammation markers are
markedly elevated in patients with chronic renal failure. This could be caused by increased …

AIM: To evaluate determinants of inflammatory markers in chronic renal failure patients
according to the level of glomerular filtration rate. METHODS: One hundred fifty four patients …

Background. This study aims to compare serum C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL-6),
and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients before versus …

Background: Several studies have provided convincing evidence that in apparently healthy
subjects elevated serum levels of plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with an …

Background Overall and cardiovascular mortality are significantly higher in hemodialysis
patients with elevated C-reactive protein (CRP). The aim of this study was to determine …

Biomarkers of inflammation and progression of chronic kidney disease. Background Chronic
kidney disease is associated with higher levels of inflammatory biomarkers. Statins have anti …

Background: Chronic inflammation characterized by increased C-reactive protein (CRP)
levels strongly predicts cardiovascular death in both nonrenal and renal patients. We …

BACKGROUND: Markers of an acute phase reaction, such as C‐reactive protein (CRP) or
tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α) and interleukin (IL)‐6, are predictive for cardiovascular …

Inflammation and cardiovascular risk in dialysis patients. Background Chronic inflammation,
as evidenced by increased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), predicts all-cause and …

Current evidence about the effects of inflammation on the outcomes of patients with
advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) generally originates from single measurements of …
