Changes in AZGP1 Serum Levels and Correlation With Pulse Wave Velocity After Kidney Transplantation

Changes in AZGP1 Serum Levels and Correlation With Pulse Wave Velocity After Kidney Transplantation

Background: Zinc-alpha 2-glycoprotein (AZGP1), a secreted protein with ubiquitous tissue expression, has been controversially linked to the risk of cardiovascular disease. In a cohort of kidney transplant recipients, we measured serum AZGP1 levels after transplantation over a 2 year period and teste...
