The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between serum concentration of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and other cardiac markers and ischemic heart disease (IHD) in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on chronic hemodialysis (HD). ⋯ Dialysis may alter measured cTnT concentrations in ESRD patients undergoing chronic dialysis. Sporadic or persistently increased cTnT appear to be the most specific of the currently available biochemical markers to predict subclinical myocardial damage in ESRD patients.
