Serum Osteopontin Level Is Positively Associated with Aortic Stiffness in Patients with Peritoneal Dialysis

Background: Osteopontin (OPN) is regarded as a proinflammatory and proatherogenic molecule related to atherosclerosis. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum OPN and aortic stiffness (AS) of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methods: OPN and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV)...
