, interleukin-6, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in nondiabetic hemodialyzed patients with and without coronary artery disease were studied. Markers of endothelial dysfunction were elevated in hemodialyzed patients, predominantly with coronary artery disease. In multivariate analysis, kinetic urea modeling and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 remained the only positive predictors of adiponectin. In multivariate analysis, predictors of leptin were triglycerides, tissue plasminogen activator, CD146, and coronary artery disease. In multivariate analysis, predictors of CD146 were age, hemoglobin, and adiponectin. Elevated adiponectin correlated to CD146 may be the expression of a counterregulatory response aimed at mitigating the consequences in endothelial damage and increased cardiovascular risk in renal failure. The data provide further support for a link between adipocytokines, endothelial dysfunction, cardiovascular risk, and renal failure.
