Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is a serine lipase that enhances the instability of the atherosclerotic plaques. While in the general and cardiac population Lp-PLA2 is recognized as an important determinant of cardiovascular (CV) accidents, no data are available for the renal population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between Lp-PLA2 and acute CV events in hemodialyzed patients.

Abstract
Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is a serine lipase that enhances the instability of the atherosclerotic plaques. While in the general and cardiac population Lp-PLA2 is recognized as an important determinant of cardiovascular (CV) accidents, no data are available for the renal population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between Lp-PLA2 and acute CV events in hemodialyzed patients.File in questo prodotto:
