Abstract
Background null Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients experience accelerated arterial aging, which is characterized by elastin degradation. Elastin-derived peptides (EDPs) are direct products of elastin fragmentation. This study tried to explore the association between serum EDPs and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) in PD patients. null Methods null Serum levels of EDPs were analyzed in 126 eligible PD patients and 30 controls. PD patients were...
