Why the study?
Are ADMA levels associated with endothelial dysfunction and secondary amyloidosis in nondiabetic proteinuric patients?
Are ADMA levels associated with endothelial dysfunction and secondary amyloidosis in nondiabetic proteinuric patients?
ADMA synthesis may be increased in chronic kidney disease, particularly secondary amyloidosis, potentially explaining the link between proteinuria and cardiovascular morbidity through endothelial dysfunction.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
ADMA may mark endothelial dysfunction in secondary amyloidosis; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Yılmaz et al. (2008) studied this question.
