Popis: Background: The preferred vascular access for hemodialysis is represented by arteriovenous fistula (AVF) due to fewer complications and more prolonged survival. Considerable efforts have been made to identify biomarkers associated with AVF dysfunction, but results are conflicting. Vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1) and advanced glycation end products are involved in atherogenesis, vascular calcification, peripheral artery disease, and neointimal hyperplasia in renal and non-renal patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether there is an association between VCAM-1, soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE), NcarboxymethylLysine (CML), and arteriovenous fistula dysfunction (AVF). Methods: VCAM-1, sRAGE, and CML were performed using the ELISA technique in 88 HD patients. Ultrasound assessment of AVF reports brachial artery blood flow (Qa), brachial resistivity index (RI), presence of calcification, and the diameter. AVF dysfunction was defined as a brachial artery Qa ⩽ 500 ml/min or RI ⩾ 0.5. Results: The median level of VCAM-1 [2676.5(2206.8–4203.9) versus 2613.2(1885.7–3161.8), p 0.026] was significantly higher in patients with AVF dysfunction compared to the rest of the patients. sRAGE and CML were higher in this group but without statistical significance. In patients with AVF dysfunction, significant positive correlations were found between VCAM-1and sRAGE ( r = 0.417, p = 0.001), RI ( r = 0.313, p = 0.046), dialysis vintage ( r = 0.540, p Conclusion: The results we obtained showed that patients with AVF dysfunction had a significantly higher level of VCAM-l. A positive correlation between VCAM-1 and sRAGE was identified in this group.
