[Pro- and antiatherogenic mechanisms in chronic kidney failure].
Atherosclerosis is a very common complication and frequently recordable cause of death in patients with chronic renal insufficiency (ChRI). The authors focus on current notions about causes of rapidly advancing atherosclerosis in patients presenting with manifest and terminal ChRI, who were exposed to a conservative treatment, programme hemodialysis or prolonged peritoneal dialysis. Treated in the article at length are proatherogenic (generally known, common in ChRI only) and antiatherogenic mechanisms. A worthwhile line of investigations is suggested to be designed to study ChRI pathogenesis and devise relevant preventive and curative measures.
