Inflammatory burden in dialysis patients: the role of alpha defensin
HD is an alpha-defensin generating procedure. Patients are potentially predisposed to atherosclerosis because of their enhanced alpha defensin secretion. alpha-defensin might evolve as a potential therapeutic target for atherosclerosis mitigation in this high-risk population. However, this remains to be validated in future research.
