Circulating miR-423-5p levels are associated with carotid atherosclerosis in patients with chronic kidney disease

Carotid atherosclerosis is associated with an elevated risk of stroke in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, the molecular basis for the incidence of carotid atherosclerosis in patients with CKD is poorly understood. Here, we investigated whether circulating miR-423-5p is a crucial link between CKD and carotid atherosclerosis.
