Sammanfattning
Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is very common among hemodialysis (HD) patients. As the relation to the traditional risk factors is uncertain, strategies for preventing CVD in these patients cannot be uncritically extrapolated from the general population. In this review, data from epidemiological studies on HD patients are presented. We conclude that further research in the pathogenesis of CVD in HD patients is required for specific clinical interventional trials to be carried out and evidence based treatment strategies to be established.
