Nitroglycerin mediated dilation evaluated by ultrasound is associated with sTWEAK in hemodialysis patients.

CONCLUSIONS: The main determinant of nitroglycerin-mediated dilation was sTWEAK. In addition, decreased nitroglycerin-mediated dilation was associated with higher systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure. The main determinant of FMD was Kt/V. Increased flow-mediated dilation was associated with better dialysis efficiency and high total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol. PMID: 26962555 [PubMed - in process]
