Abstract

An elevated serum level of acute-phase inflammatory markers is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. We hypothesized that elevated acute-phase inflammatory markers are directly associated with the different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We evaluated the relationship between serum levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and alpha1-acid glycoprotein (alpha1-AGP), as well as the renal function in 224 adult patients with CKD (mean age 56.6 years, 46% male, and 40% diabetics), stratified according to the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (based on the National Kidney Foundation/Kidney Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiatives), and in 94 hemodialysis patients. The mean hsCRP was 8.2 +/- 12.1 mg/l, and hsCRP levels were >5 mg/l in 44.4% of the patients; alpha1-AGP levels were >125 mg/dl in 33.3% of the patients. Mean hsCRP and alpha1-AGP were significantly higher in more severe stages of CKD. A weak inverse relationship was found between GFR and serum hsCRP (r = -0.2205; p = 0.0006) and between GFR and serum alpha1-AGP (r = -0.3266; p < 0.0001). There was a correlation between hsCRP and alpha1-AGP (r = 0.3417; p < 0.0001). No significant differences were detected between patients with CKD and...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Cardiovascular Inflammation

Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, an understanding of these endogenous processes is critical for evaluating the risks and potential treatment strategies. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular inflammation here.
