Key result
Exclusion from the renal transplant waiting list was associated with significantly higher median cTnI levels compared to being listed (0.03 vs 0.02 microg/L, P < 0.01).
Why the study?
Do cardiac troponin levels differ between asymptomatic dialysis patients listed for renal transplant and those excluded from the list?

Elevated cTnI was associated with transplant exclusion in asymptomatic dialysis patients; leaves open whether troponin refines CV risk stratification.

Absolute Event Rate: 0.03% vs 0.02%
p-value: p=< 0.01
Cardiac troponin I levels are significantly higher in asymptomatic dialysis patients excluded from the renal transplant waiting list compared to those listed, suggesting potential utility for cardiovascular risk stratification.
Roberts et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Chronic renal impairment and dialysis. Exclusion from renal transplant waiting list vs. Listed for renal transplant was evaluated on Median cTnI levels (microg/L) (p=< 0.01). Exclusion from the renal transplant waiting list was associated with significantly higher median cTnI levels compared to being listed (0.03 vs 0.02 microg/L, P < 0.01).
