Impact of hemodialysis on the level of high-sensitivity cardiac troponins T in patients with end-stage renal disease.

The majority of patients with end-stage renal disease have chronically elevated concentrations of troponins, thus obscuring the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. We conducted a prospective study to examine the impact of hemodialysis on the level of high-sensitivity cardiac troponins T in asymptomatic patients with end-stage renal disease.High-sensitivity cardiac troponins T were measured in 43 patients, before and after three dialysis...
