Cardiovascular disease, fibrinogen and the acute phase response: associations with lipids and blood pressure in patients with chronic renal disease

This study examines the relationship between fibrinogen levels, lipids, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in patients with chronic renal disease. Fibrinogen, a protein elevated during inflammation, was significantly higher in patients with renal disease compared to healthy controls. The study found a strong correlation between fibrinogen levels, diastolic blood pressure,
