Relationship Between Visfatin Level and Cardiovascular Changes in Hemodialysis Patients.

Background: Cardiovascular alterations include atherosclerosis, calcification, heart failure, diastolic and systolic dysfunction, stroke are a primary cause of mortality in people with CKD ESRD. Individuals have been demonstrated to increased serum levels visfatin. A new study suggests that high visfatin individuals chronic kidney disease accurately predict cardiovascular abnormalities. Chronic renal calcification the carotid arteries vary individuals. The researchers set out look at correlation level abnormalities patients. In this case-control comparative study, conventional Echocardiogram duplex assessment were used evaluate differences between 40 patients stage III or IV receiving conservative treatment, ESRD regular hemodialysis, 20 subjects as control group. Results: Hemodialysis-dependent Carotid calcifications more common compared non-hemodialysis-dependent significantly correlated Visfatin healthy participants. dysfunction all likely occur those who had CIMT p-value (0.036) doppler, decreased EF % (0.032), LVMI (0.004) reversed E/A ratio (0.003) by Echocardiographic Doppler assessment. Patients an elevated morbidity atherosclerosis risk ischemic stroke.
