Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and it is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).

Keywords: atherosclerosis carotid artery intima-media thickness maintenance hemodialysis oxidative stress.
