Association of plasma adiponectin and cardiovascular risk profiles in nondiabetic uremic patients on peritoneal dialysis.

abstract：:This review focuses on a series of risk factors involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular complications in patients undergoing Regular Dialysis Treatment (RDT). Many of them are not modifiable by any pharmacological strategies or dialysis therapy, others - such as phosphate overload - can be corrected successfull...
