Predictive role of endothelin in left ventricular remodeling of chronic kidney disease

Abstract: Background: In chronic kidney disease (CKD), endothelin-1 (ET-1) always increases and there are changes in cardiac ultrasonography. In the present study, we aimed at investigating the role of serum ET-1 in predicting cardiac complications in patients with CKD.Methods: The level of serum ET-1 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and cardiac ultrasonography was performed in enrolled patients. Indexes of heart failure, such as left ventricular mass index, interventricular septum thickness and… Show more

“…The level of big ET-1 is closely related to cardiovascular events and is used as a risk predictor of cardiovascular disease ( 19 ). The role of big ET-1 in hypertension, diabetes, and myocardial hypertrophy is manifested in poor cardiovascular remodeling, which is caused by an increase in left ventricular mass ( 20 22 ). Big ET-1 also helps to predict the risk of congestive heart failure and death in the general population ( 23 , 24 ).…”

“…At present, clinical evaluation of ventricular remodeling and cardiac function is mostly performed by color Doppler ultrasound which accurately assesses cardiac condition but fails to evaluate the overall situation of the organism. So it is not conducive to treatment selection and prognosis evaluation of patients (9,10).…”
