متن کاملHomoarginine and Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease: Results from the Mild to Moderate Kidney Disease Study
BACKGROUND Homoarginine is an amino acid derivative mainly synthesized in the kidney. It is suggested to increase nitric oxide availability, enhance endothelial function and to protect against cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to investigate the relation between homoarginine, kidney function and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS We measured plasma homoarginine concentration...
