An Increase of Plasma Advanced Oxidation Protein Products Levels Is Associated with Cardiovascular Risk in Incident Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: A Pilot Study

Figure 1

Prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) according to the change of plasma AOPPs levels after one year on PD. Among patients with an increase lower than 50% (), there was no difference in prior CV disease prevalence whereas, among those with AOPPs increase higher than 50% (), there was a higher prevalence of prior CV disease. (significant CVD history in patients with an increase of plasma AOPPs levels greater than 50% versus lower than 50%).
