An Increase of Plasma Advanced Oxidation Protein Products Levels Is Associated with Cardiovascular Risk in Incident Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: A Pilot Study

Figure 2

Incidence of new cardiovascular (CV) disease according to changes of plasma AOPPs level during one year on PD. Patients with an increase of AOPP higher than 50% () had 4.7 times greater risk of developing a new CV event than those with a smaller increase of AOPP (). (significant CV disease in patients with an increase of plasma AOPPs levels greater than 50% versus lower than 50%).
