SAT-324 EVALUATION OF ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION AND AORTIC STIFFNESS IN END STAGE RENAL DISEASE PATIENTS ON MAINTENANCE HEMODIALYSIS AND RENAL TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS

Cardiovascular complications are the leading cause behind the excess morbidity and mortality observed in end-stage renal disease population. The vascular wall in uremia undergoes two major pathological changes being endothelial dysfunction occurring at the intimal level and vascular remodeling occurring in the media. Renal transplantation may improve these changes. This study aimed to compare vascular stiffness and endothelial function in...
