Brief Summary:
Chronic kidney disease(CKD) patients have high incidence of coronary artery problems event after renal transplantation. And remain a major cause of mortality. The major risk marker is arterial stiffness. The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a new index of overall stiffness and can estimated the risk of atherosclerosis.
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) is a metabolic regulator that plays important role in cardiac remodeling elevated FGF-21 have been reported in coronary heart disease or carotid artery plaque and could be biomarkers for atherosclerosis disease Investigators aimed to study the association between CAVI and FGF-21 and their relations to various parameters that can contribute to cardiovascular disease eg. homocysteine Echocardiogram findings and other traditional basic factors.
Detailed Description:
A total of 90 participants who underwent renal transplant were included in the study. The following measures were done and laboratory data were collected. CAVI, Ecchocariogram, Homocysteine, Hs-CRP, Carotid IMT, FGF-21, Medication after renal transplantation, incidence of cardiovascular disease correlation between categorical data was done by using Pearson's correlation test and multiple regression analysis.
