C-peptide and epicardial adipose tissue in dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease patients
The significant association between EAT volume and CP suggests a potential role of CP in the cardiovascular physiopathology of patients with ESKD on dialysis. Insufficient statistical power was probably the cause of the lack of association of CP with CAC. Observational prospective studies are required to characterize CP as a cardiovascular risk marker in patients with ESKD.
