A HIGH RATHER THAN LOW PLASMA ADIPONECTIN PREDICTS HIGHER MORTALITY AND MORE ADVERSE CARDIOVASCULAR OUTCOMES IN INFLAMMED PERITONEAL DIALYSIS PATIENTS

A HIGH RATHER THAN LOW PLASMA ADIPONECTIN PREDICTS HIGHER MORTALITY AND MORE ADVERSE CARDIOVASCULAR OUTCOMES IN INFLAMMED PERITONEAL DIALYSIS PATIENTS

Plasma adiponectin (ADPN) is markedly elevated in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients compared to healthy controls.
