Overview

The number of patients with chronic renal failure is on the rise; these patients have a 10 to 20 times higher risk of development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Higher cardiovascular risk in such patients cannot be satisfactorily explained by traditional risk factors defined in the Framingham study. On the contrary, a concept of reverse epidemiology has been brought forward, designating a situation in which the incidence of obesity and hyperlipoproteinemia is associated with a higher survival rate of the patients concerned. Higher risk is today explained by the „MIAC (malnutrition, inflammation, atherosclerosis, calcification) syndrome“, which is present in patients with chronic kidney disease. New evidence has been recently obtained of different circulating molecules associated with atherosclerosis, the plasmatic levels of which are decreased or increased in such patients and which are in a way linked with the MIAC syndrome and the progression of atherosclerosis. Clinical management of the syndrome could increase survival in the future, and reduce morbidity and the number of hospitalisations. Circulating molecules could serve as markers evidencing the presence of the syndrome and its severity, as well as the success of treatment.

Key words:
inflammation – malnutrition – atherosclerosis – calcification – haemodialysis
