Sex differences in sympathetic activity and vascular stiffness in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD)

CONCLUSIONS: Males with CKD have higher resting sympathetic activity compared to females with CKD. However, there was no difference in vascular stiffness between sexes. There was no correlation between resting MSNA and cfPWV, suggesting that non-neural mechanisms may play a greater role in the progression of vascular stiffness in CKD, particularly in females.PMID:38385174 | DOI:10.1152/ajprenal.00308.2023
