Abstract excerpt
Increased vascular calcification and oxidative stress are considered as extra renal risk factors at the pathogenesis cardiovascular events in chronic kidney disease (CKD). We investigated matrix Gla protein (MGP) (T-138C, Glu60X, Thr83Ala) and Klotho (Cys370Ser) gene polymorphisms, serum MGP levels, and oxidative stress status of 84 CKD patients and 37 healthy controls. The MGP gene Glu60X and Thr83Ala...
