Özet

Aim: The most important cause of death in end-stage renal disease is cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is one of the most important steps in the pathogenesis of CVD. Apelin is a peptide recently found to have important roles in cardiovascular and endothelial physiology; and we planned in our study to examine the relationship between apelin and endothelial functions in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.
