Abstract

Objective: To survey on plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine and relationship with some cardiovascular risk factors in end-stage renal disease patients who were indicated kidney transplantation. Subject and method: A controlled cross-sectional study in 112 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who have indication kidney transplantation and 80 controlled healthy people at 103 Military Hospital from March 2018 to April 2020. Result: The median concentration of plasma ADMA in the patient group: 0.62µmol/l was higher than the control group: 0.17µmol/l with p<0.001. There were 98.2% of patients increased plasma ADMA. ADMA levels were higher in patients with dyslipidemia and high Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP), (p<0.05). The variables found to be positively correlated with ADMA levels were AIP, cholesterol and left atrial diameter, r = 0.493, p<0.001 Conclusion: Elevated plasma ADMA concentrations are common and correlated with AIP, cholesterol, and left atrial diameter in ESRD patients prior kidney transplant.
