Abstract

Background. Increased circulating visfatin may be associated both with endothelial damage and with increased mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). HDL cholesterol is an independent, strong inverse predictor of cardiovascular events. However, associations between visfatin and parameters of lipid metabolism are unclear. Moreover, serum concentrations of visfatin measured by an enzyme immuno assay (EIA) are conflicting and do not correlate with ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) data, which predominantly detect enzymatically active visfatin.
