Plasma XXXX , @entity2002 , and time on dialysis prior to transplantation are related to carotid intima media thickness in renal transplant recipients.

The majority of @entity204 among @entity1 after renal transplantation is attributed to @entity65 ( @entity65 ). @entity121 ( @entity121 ) of the common carotid artery is related to @entity453 . One of the major causes of @entity204 due to @entity65 is @entity1187 , which is precipitated by @entity301 and subsequent @entity715 . The aim of the study was to evaluate associations between some fibrinolytic factors: antigens of @entity3479 ( @entity3479 ), plasminogen activator inhibitor ( @entity2289 ), and @entity557 ( @entity557 ), and @entity121 in a population of renal transplant recipients. The study was performed on 33 Caucasian, clinically stable kidney transplant recipients (11 @entity1 , mean age 43 years, range 26 to 62 years). All the @entity1 were on triple immunosuppressive regimen ( @entity205 , @entity229 , and @entity500 ) and had stable graft function (serum @entity1011 1.7 +/- 0.7 mg/dL). The mean time since transplantation was 49.9 months (range 4.1 to 131.8 months). In univariate analysis @entity121 correlated significantly with age (r =.5; P =.001), pulse pressure (PP) (r =.4; P =.05), time on dialysis prior to transplantation (r =.6; P =.001), @entity2002 (r =.4; P =.02), and @entity3479 (r =.6; P =.001). Multiple regression analysis showed that @entity3479 antigen concentration (P =.001), @entity2002 (P <.05), and time on dialysis prior to transplantation (P <.05) were positive independent predictors of @entity121 . These data support the concept of the coincidence of disturbances in fibrinolysis and arterial remodelling in @entity1 after kidney transplantation. On the other hand the study shows that the duration of dialysis therapy before transplantation is detrimental to the arterial vasculature.
