Asymmetric dimethylarginine, vascular calcifications and parathyroid hormone serum levels in hemodialysis patients
Journal of Nephrology, 09/30/09

Coen G et al. – Despite the results of bivariate analysis showing a linkage between ADMA and cardiac and coronary calcifications, regression analysis showed only a spurious association. The strong positive correlation between ADMA and LnPTH, validated by the regression analysis, may suggest a link between ADMA and PTH–derived vascular damage. ADMA levels could be influenced by the severity of hyperparathyroidism and contribute to cardiovascular death linked to PTH of hemodialysis patients.
