| Popis: | Background and Objective Vaspin is a molecule belonging to adipokine family which is associated with insulin resistance and obesity in humans. Several studies have evaluated the serum levels of vaspin in various conditions including coronary artery disease and chronic hemodialysis patients. To our best knowledge, serum vaspin levels have not yet been studied in pre dialysis patients. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a noninvasive procedure used to diagnose the extent of carotid atherosclerotic vascular disease. The objective of this study is to evaluate serum vaspin levels in pre dialysis patients and their relationships with glomerular filtration rate and CIMT levels. Methods A total of twenty-five pre dialysis patients (14 female and 11 male) and 22 healthy controls (8 female and 14 male) were included in the study. CIMT was measured through B-mode ultrasonography. Results Serum vaspin levels were significantly lower (p |
