Transplantation Proceedings, 06/30/09
Bandukwala F et al. - Uric acid (UA) is an emerging cardiovascular (CV) risk factor that is associated with hypertension and CV disease (CVD) in the general population, but whose role in renal transplant recipients (RTR) has not been defined. Hyperuricemia is common in RTR, but was not related to BP. Further studies are required to establish whether UA predicts CV risk in this population.
