Popis: Systemic inflammation is an independent predictor of mortality in HD patients, and a better understanding of its pathogenetic pathways and identification of targets for intervention are needed. The cDNA microarray technology has recently been used to profile gene expression, and examines simultaneously a broad variety of genes that could determine biological and pathogenetic processes. To investigate the gene expression profile in white blood cells of eight persistently inflamed (CRP > 10 mg/L for 12 months) HD patients compared to eight non-inflamed patients (CRP
