Sažetak
Cardiovascular (CV) complications are the most important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Arterial stiffness (AS) has been recognized as a strong and independent predictor for CV events in CKD. Our aim was to assess indices of AS in a group of Endemic (Balkan) Nephropathy (EN) patients undergoing haemodialysis (HD). Hypertenison was not considered an importnat feauture in earlier stages of the disease, and therefore we presumed that those patients would have lower AS. Interestingly, we found AS to be even higher in this group of EN patients. This result should be confirmed in a larger cohort of EN patients.
