MicroRNAs in Patients on Chronic Hemodialysis (MINOS Study)
Diagnosis of acute myocardial injury with biomarkers is difficult in patients with advanced renal failure. Circulating microRNAs are promising new biomarkers of myocardial injury. It is unknown whether levels of microRNAs are affected in patients undergoing hemodialysis. High-sensitivity cardiac tro...

Zusammenfassung: | Diagnosis of acute myocardial injury with biomarkers is difficult in patients with advanced renal failure. Circulating microRNAs are promising new biomarkers of myocardial injury. It is unknown whether levels of microRNAs are affected in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hsTnT) and cardiac-enriched miR-499 were measured in 41 patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis and 41 controls.
Levels of hsTnT and miR-499 were highly elevated in patients with ESRD compared with controls (>80-fold increase; P |
