Özet

Introduction: Increased cardiovascular (CV) events are common causes of increased mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between urotensin II (UT II) and left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH), arterial stiffness (AS), and atherosclerosis in predialysis CKD patients.
