Cardiovascular Biomarkers in Nocturnal Hemodialysis and Their Association With Physical Performance
ABSTRACT Introduction The cardiovascular biomarkers troponin T, N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide, and fibroblast growth factor 23 are elevated in hemodialysis patients and associated with an increased cardiovascular mortality risk. Nocturnal hemodialysis improves the fluid status in hemodialysis patients.
