No change in impaired endothelial function after long-term folic acid therapy of hyperhomocytsteinaemia in haemodialysis patients.

Background: Hyperhomocysteinaemia is frequent in chronic haemodialysis patients. Because of its potential role in athero-and thrombogenesis, the effects of long-term homocysteine-lowering treatment on endothelial function are of interest. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
