Association between Circulating Endothelial Cells and Carotid Atherosclerosis in Patients Receiving Maintenance Hemodialysis
Accelerated atherosclerosis is the major cause of mortality in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, and endothelial injury associated with MHD might contribute strongly to pathogenesis. The current study was designed to explore possible associations between circulating endothelial cells (CECs) a...
