Serum fatty acid binding protein 4 levels are associated with abdominal aortic calcification in peritoneal dialysis patients

Background Fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) is an adipokine that was mainly derived from adipocytes and macrophages. Vascular calcification (VC) is highly prevalent in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and could predict their cardiovascular mortality. The pathogenesis of VC is complex, and adipo...
