Effect of Transplant on Platelet Function Markers (P-Selectin and Platelet Aggregation) and Adiponectin in Renal Transplant Patients.
CONCLUSIONS: According to our findings, glomerular filtration rate has an important effect on platelet function, but adiponectin levels became normal only in the second year after transplant. Late improvement of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and adiponectin after transplant suggested to us that patients with kidney transplant may still have risk of cardiovascular events, especially in the first years.
