Abstract | ||||
Cardiovascular complications are the leading cause behind the excess morbidity and mortality observed in end-stage renal disease population. The vascular wall in uremia undergoes two major pathological changes being endothelial dysfunction occurring at the intimal level and vascular remodeling occurring in the media. Renal transplant recipients could actually gain benefit from the reduction of circulating uremic toxins affecting the vascular wall with a possible improvement in both endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness and thus cardiovascular events. | ||||
