BACKGROUND In chronic kidney disease (CKD) cardiovascular remodeling (CVR) is very frequent compared with general population and, as suppose, may be associated with «new» renal risk factors. The aim of study was to estimate association of new serum biomarkers (FGF-23, Klotho) and traditional biomarker of cardiac damage-serum Troponin I (sTr-I) with signs of CVR. METHODS One hundred thirty CKD G1-5D patients without cardiovascular disease (CVD) clinical manifestation were included. We measured serum FGF-23, Klotho and sTr-I. The instrumental methods were: echocardiography, SphygmoCor test [Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV), Central (aortic) Blood Pressure (CBP), Subendocardial Blood Supply (SBS)]. RESULTS FGF-23 level correlated with: sTr-I (r = 0.512; p |
