Popis: | Background Profilin-1 is a ubiquitous, actin-binding protein that plays an important role in the regulation of actin polymerization and cytoskeleton remodeling thus contribute vascular dysfunction.We conducted this study to investigate the association of serum profilin-1 levels with fatal and non-fatal CVE in a cohort of patients with stage 1-5 CKD. Matherials and methods Serum concentrations of profilin-1 levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Endothelium-dependent vasodilatation (flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and endothelium-independent vasodilatation (nitroglycerine mediated dilatation (NMD) of the brachial artery were assessed non-invasively, using high-resolution ultrasound. Results Both fatal and non-fatal CVE was significantly higher in patients with high profilin-1 levels. Kaplan–Meier survival curves showed that patients with profilin-1 below the median value (114 pg/ml) had higher cumulative survival compared with patients who had profilin-1 levels above the median value (log-rank test, P |
