"Background: Cardiovascular disease caused by atherosclerosis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We evaluated the potential association of cardiovascular risk factors including asymmetric dimethyl L-arginine (ADMA) and the soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) with preclinical atherosclerosis in patients undergoing kidney transplantation. Patients and Methods: In 92 males and 47 females undergoing the first cadaveric renal transplantation, ADMA, sRAGE and common risk factors including lipid parameters were evaluated as potential predictors of preclinical atherosclerosis defined as the Belcaro score (focused on advanced atherosclerotic changes) measured by ultrasound. Results: The prevalence of atherosclerotic changes was approximately 70% in men and women. In logistic regression, age, history of smoking, presence of diabetes mellitus, and plasma triglycerides were the strongest independent predictors for advanced athe"@en . . "1420-4096" . .
