Atheromatosis and endothelial response of the small peripheral arteries: a peritoneal dialysis versus hemodialysis patients mismatch

Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) are treatment options for end stage renal disease (ESRD). However, few are known on the cardiovascular impose of those therapeutic modalities. Our aim is to uncover endothelial damage and subclinical atheromatous process in male patients on chronic ESRD treated by either of those methods.
