Article Synopsis
- Individuals with type 2 diabetes and increased albuminuria face a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and premature death, highlighting the need for improved understanding of their health risks.
- A cross-sectional study involving 463 individuals analyzed the relationship between albuminuria and various markers related to blood vessel function, clotting, and platelet activity, revealing important findings.
- Results showed a clear link between higher albuminuria levels and increased markers of endothelial function and fibrinogen, but no connection was found between albuminuria and thrombin generation or platelet activity among the participants without cardiovascular disease.
Background: Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality in individuals with diabetes and improved understanding of its pathophysiology is needed. We investigated the association of a large panel of metabolites and molecular lipid species with future cardiovascular events in type 1 diabetes.
Methods: The study included 669 individuals with type 1 diabetes.

Background: Small randomized trials demonstrated that a lower compared with higher dialysate temperature reduced the average drop in intradialytic blood pressure. Some observational studies demonstrated that a lower compared with higher dialysate temperature was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality. There is now the need for a large randomized trial that compares the effect of a low vs high dialysate temperature on major cardiovascular outcomes.
