Arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) thrombosis is a common cause of morbidity in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Increased soluble endothelial protein C receptor (sEPCR) levels have been associated with increased risk of venous thrombosis. We aimed to investigate the possible effects of sEPCR levels on the development of AVF thrombosis in adult HD patients.

    All the patients were successfully engrafted. Of the 26 patients, 10 (38%) patients had some degree of renal dysfunction (grade 1, 5 patients; grade 2, 4 patients; grade 3, 1 patient). They developed ARF at an average of 32.8 +/- 4.0 days after transplantation. No significant difference was observed...

    We can hypothesize that tubular cells produce big quantities of NGAL as a consequence of increased apoptosis following chronic damage or as a compensatory response, similar to that observed in acute stress conditions (ischemia, toxicity ...).
