Cardiovascular remodelling in patients with pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease and renal transplant recipients
Aim To evaluate the relationship between cardiovascular remodelling and glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients without cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and in renal transplant recipients (RTR). Methods The cross-sectional study included 83 patients with eGFR<60 mL/min/1.73m 2 (45 with CKD 3 stage and...

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, apolipoprotein E and atherogenic index of plasma are associated with risk of chronic kidney disease
Aim To investigate the association of parameters of lipid profile and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min/1.73 m 2 calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) in non-dialysis kidney patients. Methods The observational, case-control study enrolled patients (n=117) recruited from the Nephrological Counselling ...
