Popis: Aim: In this study; we investigated the effects of atorvastatin treatment on endothelial dysfunction (ED) as well as antihyperlipidemic effects of atorvastatin treatment in patients with hemodialysis due to end-stage renal disease for at least 6 months. Materials and Method: In this study, 15 control and 15 atorvastatin patients were examined. Evaluation of ED was performed by evaluating the flow-mediated dilatation of the brachial artery in the fistula which was performed as described previously. Results: Comparing the first and last value difference of LDL with independent T-test for statin given and not given groups; LDL values were statistically significant in statin group (p = 0.000, p
