To review the pathophysiology of arterial stiffening in patients with end-stage renal failure and evaluate its clinical relevance in nephrology practice.
Narrative review synthesizing vascular biology, hemodynamic changes, and arterial remodeling mechanisms associated with advanced chronic kidney disease.
Advanced renal disease promotes structural remodeling and extensive calcification of large arteries, markedly reducing arterial compliance.
Accelerated arterial stiffening increases cardiac workload, alters coronary perfusion, and stands as a major independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality in end-stage renal failure.
