Abstract:Background:
High soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor
(suPAR) levels are correlated with cardiovascular (CV) disease. Arterial
stiffness is associated with aging-related vascular diseases and is an
independent risk factor for CV morbidity and mortality. It can be measured by the
cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). We evaluated the association between serum
suPAR levels and arterial stiffness according to the CAVI in kidney
transplantation (KT) recipients.
