End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients exhibit increased cardiovascular mortality associated with cardiovascular calcifications and endothelial dysfunction. As circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) harbour vascular regenerative potential and are altered in uraemia, we examined clinical and biochemical factors influencing EPC levels as well as the relation between EPC numbers and function and uraemic cardiovascular calcifications.
