| الوصف: | ¤ Background: Atherosclerotic vascular diseases are the major cause of mortality in patients with end-stage renal dis-ease (ESRD) treated with chronic peritoneal dialysis (CPD), even in children. Adiponectin (ADPN) is a recently discovered adipocyte-derived plasma protein having anti-atherogenic properties. ADPN levels are elevated in ESRD but it has been reported that ESRD patients with low plasma ADPN levels have a high risk of cardiovascular death. ¤ Objective: To clarify the atherosclerotic risk and espe-cially the significance of ADPN levels in pediatric patients on CPD. ¤ Design: Cross-sectional study in the pediatric peritoneal dialysis unit of a university hospital. |
