Carotid Intima-media Thickness in Dialysis Patients and Traditional Risk Factors

Starting soon

Conditions studied: Dialysis Patients, Hypertension, Atherosclerosis

In brief

* Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. * Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a validated surrogate marker for atherosclerosis. * Both traditional cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia) and dialysis-specific factors (mineral metabolism disorders, dialysis duration) contribute to vascular damage.
