Elevated concentrations of cardiac troponins are associated with severe coronary artery calcification in asymptomatic haemodialysis patients.

BACKGROUND Elevated concentrations of cardiac biomarkers, such as troponins and natriuretic peptides, have been shown to be predictive of poorer long-term cardiovascular outcomes in stable patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, little is known about the relationship between elevated concentrations of these cardiac markers and underlying coronary artery pathology in these patient...

Elevated plasma C-type natriuretic peptide concentrations in patients with chronic renal failure.

1. C-type natriuretic peptide is a neuropeptide, which is also produced by the vascular endothelial cells. Plasma immunoreactive C-type natriuretic peptide concentrations in patients with various diseases have not yet been studied. 2. Plasma immunoreactive C-type natriuretic peptide concentrations were studied by radioimmunoassay in normal subjects, patients with congestive heart failure, non-d...

Plasma Haptoglobin Concentrations Are Elevated in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease

Inflammation underlies the development and progression of coronary artery plaques. Haptoglobin (Hp) is an acute phase protein, the synthesis of which is increased during inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate plasma Hp concentrations and phenotype in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We recruited 359 patients with fixed luminal stenosis ≥50% in at least one coronary a...

Increased plasma S-nitrosothiol levels in chronic haemodialysis patients.

BACKGROUND An impairment of nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and/or metabolism may contribute to the excessive incidence of atherosclerotic complications observed in haemodialysis (HD) patients. Recent evidence indicates that NO metabolism involves a family of NO-related molecules that have not yet been explored in such patients. The aim of our study was to determine the plasma levels of S-nit...

Replies Elevated concentrations of cardiac troponins are associated with severe coronary artery calcification in asymptomatic haemodialysis patients

Sir, We read with interest the article by Jung et al. [1] entitled ‘Elevated concentrations of cardiac troponins are associated with severe coronary artery calcification in asymptomatic haemodialysis patients’. They found, in haemodialysis patients, a significant correlation between elevated levels of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and levels above the detection limit of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), w...
