Abstract :
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause
of mortality in 23-45 percent of adults and
pediatric patients with end stage renal diseases
(ESRD) [1,2]. Researchers have determined that
hazard ratio for CVD increases to more than three
times when GFR reaches less than 15
min/ml/1.73m [2,3].
