Why the study?
Are cardiac troponin I and beta 2 microglobulin associated with increased carotid intima-media thickness in non-diabetic haemodialysis patients?
Are cardiac troponin I and beta 2 microglobulin associated with increased carotid intima-media thickness in non-diabetic haemodialysis patients?
In non-diabetic haemodialysis patients, elevated beta 2 microglobulin and cardiac troponin I are associated with increased carotid intima-media thickness, suggesting a role in early-onset atherosclerosis.

Should not yet change practice in hemodialysis; hypothesis-generating for beta2M and LVH in carotid thickening.
Zumrutdal et al. (2005) studied this question.
