“…Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) is an established surrogate marker of cardiovascular risk in elderly populations [10], and at all ages is greater in chronic renal failure patients than control patients [11]. This study examined the hypothesis that these markers would improve after successful renal transplantation, in parallel with the improved prognosis from cardiovascular disease.…”
One year after successful renal transplantation, improvement in cardiovascular risk factors was associated with improvement in indices of arterial stiffness.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
