Circulating long noncoding RNA DKFZP434I0714 predicts adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with end-stage renal disease

Cardiovascular (CV) diseases are major causes of mortality in uremic patients. Conventional risk factors fail to identify uremic patients with increased propensity for adverse CV outcomes. We aimed to test the hypothesis that circulating long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) could be a prognostic marker to predict adverse CV outcomes in uremic patients.
