Inflammatory and Metabolic Syndrome Biomarker Analysis of Vascular Outcomes in End-stage Renal Disease
Int J Angiol DOI: 10.1055/s-0036-1593409End-stage renal disease (ESRD) presents a complex syndrome in which inflammatory and metabolic processes contribute to disease progression and development of comorbid conditions. Over $1 trillion is spent globally on ESRD care.Plasma samples collected from 83 ESRD patients prior to hemodialysis were profiled for metabolic and inflammatory biomarker concentrations.
