Cardiovascular comorbidities, inflammation and serum albumin levels in a group of hemodialysis patients

Abstract

Cardiovascular comorbidities have a high rate of prevalence in the chornically hemodialysed patient. The link between these two affections is due to several factors which have a major role in the onset of cardiovascular diseases, such as hypervolemia, nutritional disorders, anemia, hyperuricemia, bone mineral disorders, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis. There is also a tight connection between chronic inflammation and cardiovascular diseases in the chronically hemodialysed patient.
